BBYC Board & Committees
2023-24 Committees & Chairs
Our Club depends largely upon the membership to govern and operate its programs. Volunteerism is the key to building relationships with fellow members and keeping expenses down. Everyone is expected to make a contribution of time by helping with boating activities, social events, and bi-annual work weekends.
Please contact a committee chair if you are interested in joining a committee, have a concern, question, or suggestion.
