I am running for re-election to the Board as Yankee Vice President. I have spent the past 40 years contributing to Yankee Volleyball in many roles from Board member to Tournament Director to President and beyond. 

I currently hold the position of New England Region Volleyball Association Adult Commissioner as well. My dual role as Yankee Vice President and Adult Commissioner has allowed me to assure that our adult members have as many opportunities to play as possible. Yankee/NERVA is at the forefront in the country for adult tournament participation and many regions reach out to us for guidance on how to grow their adult population and I feel I have had a large impact on that success. 

If I am re-elected I will continue my lifelong commitment to our organization and will keep fighting for our adult membership.

I’m Miriam Moodley, and I’m running for another term as a Member-at-Large on the Yankee Board.

Over the past few years serving on the Board, I’ve had the opportunity to help update policies, refine rules, and develop new protocols, all with the goal of keeping our members’ best interests front and center. It’s been incredibly rewarding to be part of the progress we’ve made as an organization. 

I bring a well-rounded perspective from my experience working for over 10 years in a national membership organization, serving on other boards, officiating as a certified volleyball referee, and actively playing in the Yankee community. This allows me to approach decisions with both structure and a strong understanding of what matters most to our members.

More recently, I’ve been focused on developing awards to recognize Yankee Captains, contributing to the Compliance Committee, co-chairing the Ratings Committee, and working on ways to continue improving the overall level and consistency of play. These are areas I care deeply about and am excited to keep building on.

Continuing for another term would allow me to keep advocating for our members, building on the work already in progress, and helping ensure Yankee continues moving in a positive direction.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve, and I’d truly appreciate your support.

I have been playing competitive volleyball for the past three years, and throughout that time, the Yankee volleyball community has had a meaningful impact on me. Volleyball has provided me with opportunities for growth, connection, and community—experiences that I know are shared by many others involved in the sport.

I am interested not only in serving on the board, but also in helping shape the future of volleyball in New England. Through my involvement in the community, I have built strong relationships with players across different levels of competition, and I believe I can effectively represent and advocate for athletes competing at the C level and below. I hope to bring a perspective that reflects the interests and experiences of a broad portion of our volleyball community.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate the opportunity to run and would be honored to contribute to the continued growth of volleyball within the Yankee region.

Hello Yankee Volleyball! I have been playing the sport of volleyball for 12 years now and was introduced to Yankee in 2015. I did not go to a college that had a team and failed at creating a club team. I thankfully had friends playing in Yankee and introduced me to this new world of volleyball. The community was welcoming, helpful and friendly. I met so many people that I would not see for a year, but still talk to like I see them everyday. 

Back in 2018, I went through a very hard time in my life. Yankee volleyball was an outlet for me during this time and the community had open arms when I was grieving. In 2026, I would like to give back to Yankee and run for the At Large position on the Yankee Board. I want to help Yankee grow and improve so everyone can feel as welcome as I felt when I first started. 

The rest of the country does not have a large organization like Yankee. It is run by a group that volunteers that gives players a chance to play the sport they love, as well as introduce it to beginners. I would love to be your voice on the board.
