Purpose
The AMHA Organizational Structure Review Committee has been formed to explore and provide
recommendations on the future structure of the Airdrie Minor Hockey Association (AMHA) organizational
governance and operational structure, including Executive Committee, Board of Directors and Operational
Committee. The intent is to support AMHA’s ongoing efforts to evolve in a way that reflects our values,
meets the needs of our community, and strengthens our capacity to deliver quality programming.
Below is information on the committee, its deliverables as well as a survey link to where you can provide
feedback to guide our work. Your voice matters.

Scope of Work
The Committee will research, explore, design and make recommendations on the following:
1)  Structure(s) that enhance and improve Board accountability, operational clarity, and strategic
oversight.
2)  The optimal size and composition of the Board, including roles and responsibilities for board
members that reflect the evolving needs of the association, strategic areas of growth and
operational clarity.
3)  Outline necessary next steps to support the required changes within AMHA administrative
practices, bylaws, policies and procedures.

Timeline
The committee is currently meeting every 2nd week with the goal of having an initial report to the
Executive by October. After consultation and further refinement, a final report will be provided to the
membership for review and a Special General Meeting will be called for members to vote on the new
proposed structure(s) by January 2026. Once this is approved by the membership, the new organization
structure will be used in the 2026 AGM voting & appointment of Board Members.

Deliverables
The Committee will provide:
1. A final report outlining key observations, analysis, and recommended options for Board
restructuring.
2. A summary presentation to be shared with the AMHA Board and, if applicable, the wider
membership.
3. Supporting materials or appendices as the Committee deems relevant (e.g., sample role
descriptions, comparative models, guiding frameworks).

Guiding Principles
The Committee’s work will be grounded Autonomy, Ownership, Collaboration, Transparency and
Constructive Outlook.
