Steering Committee and Volunteers

The Coaches Association is run by volunteers. We always have a lot to do and could use your help. Our thanks go out to all these IHSSBCA members, who collectively donate over 1,000 hours of their time each year.

Volunteer positions are usually filled by members of the IHSSBCA Steering Committee, the central committee that meets quarterly to vote on IHSSBCA policies and projects. Steering Committee members are appointed to volunteer positions and at-large positions by the Chair. Below is a list of the appointed IHSSBCA positions that comprise the current Steering Committee and the name of the person currently filling the position. The Steering Committee is led by four elected members listed here.

Email steering-committee@ihssbca.org to reach all of the Steering Committee members, or email ihssbca@ihssbca.org to reach the elected members.

Past Volunteers
