Join the Board, Make a Difference!

Thank you again for being a part of a hugely successful 2023 Spring Season with over 600 players across 52 teams in 7 different divisions. And our Fall Ball program is underway as well with nearly 200 players registered.

As you may know, our league is run by a group of over 40 volunteers that handle a wide variety of job functions. THANK YOU to the current / outgoing board for a season well done!

As is the case every year, we have positions that are vacated, generally due to older players aging out of the league. This year will be no different and we are putting together the 2023-24 Board and we think you’re the perfect candidate! Without getting into each position available, it's better to list the different “types” of positions that make up the board (Plus a new, important one):

Baseball / Operations - These are the positions that handle the daily operations of the actual playing of baseball. Division Reps, Umpire Coordinator, Rules, Coaching / Clinics, Equipment, Fields and Baseball Operations. You have a good knack and/or experience about the game of baseball, coaching and or managing leagues.

Administrative / Organizational - These are the positions that run the league from an administrative and operational standpoint such as Website / Registration, Marketing & Comms, Secretary, Treasurer and the like. While having baseball experience is helpful, it’s definitely not required.

Events / Committees - these positions typically focus on a particular activity or event such as the Opening Day Event, Yearbook Coordinator, 4th of July Parade Coordinator, Pictures / Picture Day. Many times it’s just one event or activity and that’s it. Though don’t worry, you’re still on the board, get to partake in all of the fun, and are a valuable part of the team.

Grants Coordinator - this is a NEW position that we have a great need for, which can have a HUGE impact not only in the league but for the community. There are multiple dozens of state and federal grants made available to leagues, communities and organizations that go untouched, at least by us… because we don’t have someone to help. And these are not necessarily just “baseball” items, sometimes they go towards park or facility improvements which are enjoyed by the community in addition to the league.

What is the Commitment?
The overall commitment will depend on your position. Everyone is asked to attend our monthly board meetings which typically last between 90-120min. And they’re not your typical “Board Meeting” - they’re actually fun! Sometimes catered by one of our sponsors, lots of members bring food, adult beverages and definitely lots of laughs.

Outside of the monthly meetings it depends on your position. Some require help throughout the entire season or even year (such as the Marketing & Communications Director who is putting together this very campaign), while some require hours of work over a couple of weeks or months leading up to a single event.

Outside of your particular position, we ask all board members to assist at our big events such as Opening and Closing Days. But at the end of the day, we’re all volunteers so it’s whatever you can put into the organization. And regardless of your commitment everyone is “involved” in one form or another, in person or remotely, and everyone definitely makes a difference! We wouldn’t be here without you.

So with all of that said, would you consider being on the board?
