Meeting Dates and Minutes

The WHA Board of Directors typically meets on the second Thursday of each month in the Kirk S. Nevin Arena conference room. Please double check the date and time of the meeting if you wish to attend. Due to the nature of our volunteer Board, there are occasions when we must reschedule the date, time and/or meeting location on relatively short notice. If you wish to address the Board, please send a request to westmorelandhockey@gmail.com to be added to the agenda.
