GNYNF Board Representatives
The duties of the GNYNF Board Representatives include regular communications with the members of our regional federation and the representation of the views of our members to the USNF Board. Each of our representatives receives 1 vote on the USNF board.
The GNYNF Board Representatives are in regular communication with the GNYNF Board to report any new matters from the national federation.
GNYNF Board Representatives do not have voting power in GNYNF policies but will still be present at board meetings as a way to serve as mediators between the parent federation and our local federation.
