Vice President Vacancy

The Munster Branch are again calling nominations for the role of Vice President. The Vice President would assist the current President Finbarr Kelleher in his role and would be expected to step up to the role of President once Finbarr’s term is completed. The constitution states that there should be a gender balance in the role of President so we are ideally looking for a woman.

Hockey in Munster will not start until this critical role is filled.

Anyone interested should contact secretary@munsterhockey.com.
