Board 130 was granted its charter from the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials on Nov. 15, 1951. There were 26 Charter members who founded the board, and we are proud that one of them – Pat Santin – is still a member today.

Board 130 consists of more than 350 members who officiate basketball games from the grammar school to college level. We have active Membership and Development committees who work to ensure that our newer members be given every opportunity to improve their skills and advance their officiating careers.

We hope you find this web site informative and helpful. For more information about Board 130, contact us at daniel.bryant@comcast.net
