Governance
Box Car Peggers is governed by a Board of Directors, elected by the club membership. The initial Board of Directors consists of five members, three officers and two members at large.
The President and one Member at Large are elected during odd-numbered years; the Secretary, Treasurer, and second Member at large during even‑numbered years. This alternation maintains continuity of operation. Note that term expire and new terms begin on September 1 of each year, coinciding with the new tournament season.
Current Board

The Board of Directors normally meets on the first Monday of each month to consider the business of the Club. All members are invited to attend the monthly Board meetings which are announced at a previous weekly tournament.
