What are we voting for?
USA Boxing is holding elections for positions held on Arizona’s Local Boxing Committee (LBC) Board of Directors: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief of Officials, and 3 Athlete Representatives.
Note: The Registration Chair is also elected, but not in the same way as the other positions. The Registration Chair will be elected by the new Board of Directors, once that body is in place.
Candidates may run for more than one position but must complete a Candidacy Form for each position.
Who is eligible to run for these positions and what are the qualifications?
Only current members of USA Boxing and the LBC are eligible to hold office. All members of the Board of Directors must have a valid email address and be able to communicate via email, as well as be able to access and use the membership database.
