Burke Athletic Club will be holding its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, February 16 at 7:30 pm in the White Oaks Elementary School library at 6130 Shiplett Blvd, Burke VA.  The election for two Directors will take place at the meeting.   Ballots will only be distributed at the Annual Meeting and must be completed by members and submitted to the elections officials during the meeting.  Voter check in will begin at 7:15.

The two candidate running to for positions on the board are: Gail Fialkow and Tim Kiely. 

Timothy M. Kiely

I am volunteering to serve as a director because I would like to give back to an organization that has given a lot to my family by providing a safe and positive environment for my kids and their friends to play soccer and to be active.  Over the past few years, I have coached my two daughters and son in youth soccer (U7, U8, U9 and U10) and t-ball.  From my perspective, youth sports is as much about building relationships between the athletes and their families, as it is about teaching the kids about fundamentals and sportsmanship.  As a director I can help to maintain the balance between building community relationships and learning the skills to compete.  BAC is actively expanding into additional sports and outreach and I look forward to being part of the transition. 

Thank you for considering my application.

 Gail A. Fialkow 

I respectfully submit my name as a candidate to fill a Burke Athletic Club Board of Directors position.  My primary goal is to make youth activities fun and safe for children in our community.  Both my daughters played house, travel and SFL with BAC and my husband, Mark, is the house field scheduler and has coached teams in the past.  I have been a Board Member of BAC since the club’s inception.  Thank you for your help and support throughout the past ten years.
