ABOUT SQUASH ONTARIO
Committees
The standing committees represent a special interest of Squash
Ontario such as junior development, high performance, officiating,
etc. The committees provide expertise and guidance in the development
of standards, policies and practices related to their particular
special interest. The committees also monitor and, where applicable,
administer the delivery of policies and practices specific, again
to their special interest. They represent the best interests of
those involved in the specialty area and they promote that special
area. As a consequence, Squash Ontario seeks out those individuals
with the necessary expertise to sit as members of these committees.
The chair is elected every two years by the members of the committees,
and are essentially the cabinet of Squash Ontario.
