The Regional Commissioner is the head of our Region and represents the Region in dealings with other segments of AYSO, including Area P, Section 1, the AYSO National Support and Training Center and the AYSO National Board of Directors.
An eligible individual is an adult who has registered as a volunteer in our Region 76. A job description prepared by AYSO's National Training and Support Center may be downloaded HERE. This is a generic description and in Region 76, the Regional Commissioner may have additional responsibilities.
The position of Regional Commissioner is filled by an appointment made by the National Board of Directors of AYSO. Generally, the Board will approve a candidate selected by the Region's Board of Directors. The selection process will involve one or more candidates being nominated for consideration by the Regional Board.
Nominations are made by a nominating committee appointed by the Regional Board. The Nominating Committee consists of: Alexander Grossman, Michael Karlin, and Jeff Pop.
Any individual who is interested in the position should contact the Nominating Committee by sending an email to nominations@ayso76.org.
A simple expression of interest is all that is required. The email should include the individual's name and a mobile phone number. Members of the Nominating Committee may request the interested individual to be interviewed in person or by telephone and to submit information about his or her candidacy.
It is anticipated that candidate will have the opportunity to address the Board of Directors at the April 2025 Regional Board meeting. The election itself will be held thereafter.
Only active members of the Regional Board may vote. The meetings will both be open to the public but it is requested that anyone desiring to attend the meeting notify the Nominating Committee ahead of time as the usual meeting room or Zoom link will not accommodate a large crowd.
It should be emphasized that once a person is elected by the Regional Board, the Region must submit a completed Appointment Request Package and the person elected must be approved by the Area Director for Area P, Kenneth Kotarski, and the Section Director for Section 1, Jane Prado, before being submitted to the National Board.
