After an amazing 3 years at the helm of Davis AYSO that included Davis being selected as the AYSO National Region of the Year, our fearless leader Katie Lyon's term as Regional Commissioner is coming to an end in March 2025.

Our Nomination Committee, consisting of current and past Executive Members of the Board, will vet candidates for eligibility and send the candidates applications to the Regional Board to review. The application period will end on January 6, 2025. At the regional boards regularly scheduled Board meeting in January, all Board Members in place at the time will be eligible to vote for the next regional commissioner.
