The mission of Vesper Boat Club is to develop highly skilled and competitive rowers at all levels, by providing its diverse community of membership with premier rowing programs and first-class facilities and equipment.
All Together!
Vesper Boat Club is led by a group of elected officers and a board of directors. In addition, there is a board of trustees that serves by appointment of the board of directors. Standing committees are typically lead by a member of the board of directors, or an officer of the club.
Elections are held annually in December/January and all Full/Family/VIP and Lifetime members, in Good Standing, with at least two years as a member, are eligible to vote. Officers are elected for a one year term and board members are elected for a two year term, with half of the directorships elected each year.
