Commissioner and Board Member Search

Our goal is to have leaders (commissioners and board members) with interest or experience in the activity or sport in which they will lead. Experience in leading large groups of people is also helpful. Describe your history playing in Stonewall or relate some experience you have working with large groups of people or large events? (Please be detailed and specific in your answer, highlighting all prior experience you have that would be beneficial in running a large scale sporting event.)

Being a commissioner (or board member) requires a considerable amount of dedication with time and energy. Commissioners, in particular, are responsible for coordinating setting up for the sport, running the day's activities, and managing events associated with the league. Board members must adhere to monthly meeting requirements and expected participation in community events between those meetings. Tell us how you feel that you would manage this commitment?

Each sport/program is a part of a larger group that involves celebration, education, outreach, and recreation to the LGBTQ community and its' allies. What values can you bring to the organization that will enhance the player experience and community involvement?

Why are you interested in becoming the taking on this role? What brought you here today? What is one specific goal that you would like to see accomplished in your two year term? (Please be specific, detailed, and thorough in why you are interested in this role in our community.)

Why do you feel that your nominee will be a good fit for this position? What specific qualities do you see in this person that caused you to nominate them today? If your nominee asked you, "Why did you nominate me?" what would you say to them? Do they know you are nominating them?

Before completing this application, is there anything else that you would like to share that you feel would best highlight you or your nominee as an excellent candidate to be considered?
