Liaisons — HABA - Holliston Athletic Boosters Association

Role of the Team Liaison

The Holliston Athletic Boosters Association (HABA) executive board includes the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Team Liaisons. A Team Liaison is appointed to represent one of the 26 athletic programs at Holliston High School and acts as the connection between the Board, coaches, players, and parents.

Liaisons represent all levels of their sport (Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman, if applicable). Because HABA serves as a communication link between the high school administration and parent volunteers, liaisons are asked to keep the Board informed of team needs and concerns so the Board can address issues or escalate them to the administration when appropriate.

Specific responsibilities of Team Liaisons are:

Meetings

- A link to the concession sign-up sheet.
