The RBMHA Board would like to thank Steve Ryan and Diane Girard-Ryan for their time on the board as their long held terms come to an end.
Steve stepped down this year as President of our Association after dedicating four years to the role! Steve came into the position suddenly when the president at the time fell ill. To say he was thrown into the role is an understatement. Not only did he have to quickly take the lead, he was also the first president to navigate a global pandemic. Talk about stress! Steve always maintained the best interest of the Association and it's members throughout his presidency. His dedication not only as president, but also as a coach for his son's teams for over 18 years, will surely be missed. He remains on the board as Past President to support the transition next season.
Diane stepped away from the Board this year after 15 years of dedicated service. Diane has held multiple positions on our Board, ROWE and the NEHL within that time. Most recently she acted as RBMHA Ice Convenor. She has also managed her son's teams and acted as a mentor for new team managers. Diane can usually be found wearing multiple hats each season! She is always the first to offer to lend a helping hand or undertake organizing events for the kids in the Association. Her goal is to give them the best season every year. We wish Diane good luck on her new adventures, know that you will be missed.
