Board of Directors

The volunteers who run the League on behalf of its Members

The Members elected nine Directors at the League's first Annual General Meeting on September 16, 2026. At its first meeting, the Board elected its Officers from among the Directors. To keep continuity from year to year, this first Board serves staggered terms: four Directors serve until the 2027 AGM and five until the 2028 AGM. Every election after this one is for a two-year term.
