LSLL Annual Meeting and Call for Nominations
As we wrap up the Fall 2009 season, it is time once again to start
planning for the future. As required by our League Charter, Loudoun
South Little League will be conducting its Annual Meeting and
Election of Officers for the 2010 Season on Tuesday, November
10, at 7pm, at the

Outgoing President Brian Able will provide a recap of 2009, including
league finances and current capital improvement plans. All LSLL
league members including parents, players, managers, and coaches are
invited to attend.
The final order of business for the outgoing Board of Directors will be
to conduct the election of Officers for the 2010 season. LSLL is
issuing a Call for Nominations for the following positions:
President
Vice President
Secretary
Treasurer
Player Agent
Umpire-in-Chief
Commissioner
Director-at-Large (5 positions)
Descriptions of the various positions can be found on the LSLL
website.
As you are probably painfully aware, LSLL experienced a number of
challenges this Fall season, including not having enough managers
until the last minute and generally not having enough staff to go
around. Loudoun South Little League is an all-volunteer
organization. The LSLL Board of Directors understands that there
are disgruntled parents out there who may be unhappy with the
processes, procedures, or even general operations of LSLL. This is
your chance to get involved!! It is only through dedicated
volunteers that we can offer the best experience to the children of
southeastern Loudoun County. If you are interested in running for one
of the above positions, or would like to nominate someone on their
behalf, please fill out and return the Nomination Form, available for
download from our website at http://www.eteamz.com/Loudounsouthlittleleague/files/2010LSLLBODNominationForm_distributed.pdf.
The Nomination Form may be completed and submitted electronically using Adobe Acrobat. If needed, you can download the free Adobe Acrobat Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/.
Time dedicated to Board positions vary, but include typically include
monthly Board meetings -- or more frequently as necessary, such as at
the start of the Spring and Fall seasons.
Nomination forms must be returned to the LSLL Secretary no later
than November 3, 2010. Forms can be e-mailed to the league
Secretary at secretary@loudounsouthlittleleague.org.
In addition to elected positions, there are many additional and important volunteer positions
that need to be filled on a continuing basis, including:
Fundraising Coordinator
Field Maintenance Coordinator
Uniforms Coordinator
Sponsorship Coordinator
Safety Officer
Pictures/Trophies Coordinator
Division Player Agents (Majors, AAA, AA, A, Rookie, T-Ball)
Managers
Coaches
Umpires
Even if you're not interested in a Board position, please consider
filling one or more of the above roles to help us keep up with our
ever-growing league. Interest in volunteering can also be relayed to
the LSLL Secretary at secretary@loudounsouthlittleleague.org.
All LSLL Voting Members, as defined by the League Constitution, are
eligible to vote for Board of Directors members at the Annual Meeting.
Voting members include the current Board of Directors, Player
Agents, and Team Managers for the Spring 2009 and Fall 2009 seasons.
Any other registered league member may also petition the Board of
Directors at the Annual Meeting to become a Voting Member. It is
vitally important that all Voting Member plan to be in attendance at
the Annual Meeting so that a quorum can be reached to conduct official
league business and elect the slate of new Officers.
Again, please remember that LSLL is an all-volunteer organization. The
dedicated men and women charged with running the league and ensuring a
quality program for our kids are folks just like you. They have jobs,
kids of their own, bills to pay, places to be, things to do, and the
stresses of everyday life. They've set aside a part of their lives for
helping organize our part of Little League Baseball — the largest
organized sports program in the world. If you've got desire and a
vision for where you think LSLL is going or needs to be, and how you
can help to get us there, now is your chance to step up! Volunteer for
a Board of Directors position or other volunteer slot!
We know we can do better and that this league will improve, but only if we have the active assistance of more volunteers and participants.
Thank you and we hope to see you at the Annual Meeting.
Sincerely,
Brian Able, President
and the entire Loudoun South Little League Board of Directors
