About the Tennis Executive
The Tennis Executive is a voluntary programming committee with a mandate to provide rich and varied playing experiences to members. This includes providing good variety of social, recreational and competitive playing opportunities - round robins, ladders, tournaments and social activities - to make "your cottage in the city" a place for fun, relaxation and friendly competition.
The Tennis Executive is a volunteer group, elected by active Club members at the Tennis Members Annual General Meeting held every September. They meet approximately 10 times a year totaling about 20 hours of volunteer time. In addition each role has specific responsibilities that require additional time in varying degrees to bring you the programming and events we all enjoy.
Volunteers are always welcome!
Volunteer contributions are precious and no amount of help is too small. If you can't commit to regular participation (see the roles described below), consider volunteering for a specific event, or assist part-time on a committee.
