Founded
and organized in 2000, KCSO's Team Executive Board is made up of thirteen representatives. The board members consist
of parent representatives, coaches and volunteer representatives. Two years ago we established a position for an athlete
representative to have a seat on the board. Board positions are filled as members resign. New members are nominated
by board members and then voted upon in a closed session.
The Executive Board meets monthly in a closed
session to discuss the operational matters relating to our organization. They oversee the management and organization
of the sub-committees, fundraising events, sporting event planning, competition event planning, budgetary and other areas
of business as they arise. Executive Board members may also serve as chairs or co-chairs of it's committees, if appointments
have not been filled for that season. Board members devote an extensive amount of their time, both at meetings and outside
of meetings, towards ensuring that all operations run smoothly and effectively. Their dedication is a driving force
towards KCSO's Team success and continued growth.
Quarterly, the Executive Board meets in a joint
session with the Co-Chairs of it's various Committees to discuss each committee's agendas, status, needs and direction.
There are 5 committees and 9 sub-committees that
fall under the supervision and coordination of the Executive Board.

effective communication between the organization, it's families and athletes. This includes the publishing of the Team
Newsletter, information flyers, permission slips and brochures.
