Kerry Ellett has served two full two year terms in that position on the Board of Review. Under PVS By-Laws, he may NOT be reelected to that position. Janet Auger, Manga Dalizu, Mark Eldridge and Wally Dicks were initially elected to the Board of the Review in 2008 to terms that expire August 31, 2010. Since they have not completed two full two-year tems, they may all seek reelection to a full two-year term. All have adviesd that they plan to seek reelection. One of the persons elected to the Board of Review must be athlete to assure that any Board of Review convened has at least 20% of its membership drawn from athletes.
The Coaches Representative to the Board will be selected by the PVS Coaches. Manga Dalizu initial two-year term expires on August 31, 2010. Therefore, he is eligible to run again for that position. The Coaches Representative whose term does not expire this year (Yuri Sugiuyama) is responsible for overseeing the conduct of this election. Coaches wishing to run for this position may announce their intent to do at the House of Delegates Meeting. The election will occur at the PVS Long Course Championship meets in July
The Athletes Representative to the Board will be elected by the PVS Athletes 13 years and older at the PVS Long Course Championship meets in July. Nominations to be on the ballot may be made at the May 2010 House of Delegates meeting. There is one vacancy to fill this year. Tara Banks term of office expires August 31, 2010.

The Officials Representative to the Board, Boots Hall, was elected by the officials in July 2009 for a second two year term commencing September 1, 2009 and ending August 31, 2011. Accordingly no election for that position will take place this year.
