The Board, Corporate Policies & Bylaws
The monthly SYSA Board of Commissioners meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of each month, and our AGM (April) is held in person, while all other monthly board meetings are held via Zoom. These meetings are attended by SYSA Officers and Club Commissioners.
If you would like to attend a SYSA meeting, contact the President at President@sysa.org for more details.
WE TYPICALLY DO NOT MEET IN JULY OR DECEMBER
Each SYSA neighborhood club holds its own club meetings in addition to ours. To find out when your local club meeting occurs, visit the club's web page. Click on “Find Your Club” in the top right corner of this page to find your neighborhood club website.
