Board of Directors History

A season-by-season record of the Manitoba Badminton Association’s Board of Directors since 2011. Each season lists the board that served from that year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), followed by the changes made at the AGM.

From 2023-2024 on, the year in brackets is the year the director’s term ends. Earlier seasons give each director’s term and the year within it, as in the original Record of Board of Directors (2011-2023).
