2025 Open Board Positions

We are looking for people to join our board of directors for the 2025 year (spring and fall seasons). If you:

(1) work well in a team
(2) want to be more involved in your community and
(3) are within our league boundary (i.e., player must be eligible to play in the spring season...see here to check)

We currently have a great group of volunteers and would love to find several more to join our team. Being a board member is a great learning experience for other roles in leadership across the community.

Several of our current board members will be moving on after the spring 2025 season due to their players ageing out, and others are transitioning to other board positions. Several of our open 2025 board positions have current members with experience at that position, so anyone coming in will have support in that position. You will not be on your own! Please consider joining us to keep the great tradition our league has had for many years!

Below is a list of general responsibilities and a description of the open positions for 2025. In general, the position is what you make of it. We are a flexible team and support each other to get things done. It takes a village to run a baseball league.

If interested in any of these positions, or for more information, please send an email here.

Elections
Elections for the board positions are planned Sunday November 10th for the 2025 year. Please consider joining the board and being a bigger part of your community!
