The Charlotte Grapplers Board of Directors is composed of nine (9) members who are elected to two (2) year terms, on alternating years. Nominations for open board positions are taken in April and board members are elected in May for the following season.
The Charlotte Grapplers Board of Directors meets monthly year round to discuss plans for current and future seasons. Most board meetings are open to the public and are added to the calendar as they are scheduled, and then locations and reminders are posted to our public Facebook page the week prior to the meeting.
