August 2025 Call For Board Members

As noted in our previous post, BG has revamped our board structure in advance of the 2025/26 season. While our slate of four officers is confirmed, the remaining three members remain to be finalized. These three positions were formerly all Members At-Large. In the new structure, only one At-Large member remains, while the other two have been assigned new, specific portfolios: Community Outreach and Merchandise.

Historically, the outgoing Board has handled internally both the nomination process as well as the voting on these positions. On account of implementing the new Board structure, as well as the desire to bring in fresh perspectives into BG leadership, we are issuing a public call for self-nominations for these three roles. As a reminder, these are one-year terms with renewal contingent on the Board's pleasure and the individual's desire to serve. Responsibilities of each role are as follows:

• Community Outreach Manager

  • Plan one non-match event per quarter

  • Manage annual holiday drive and holiday party

  • Investigate Boston youth soccer team/organization to sponsor

  • Communicate with supporters to identify organizations/charities/non-profits/events BG can support

• Merchandise Manager

  • Keep inventory of all merchandise and update after each match day

  • Work with designer to maintain existing designs and add new ones

  • Manage in-season supporter gift(s)

  • Lead distribution of new items on and around release days

  • Liaise with Chairman to keep inventory of items intended for raffles

• Member At-Large

  • No specific portfolio, serve as group ambassador and assist other Board members as needed

• Ongoing responsibilities for all Board members

  • Facilitate introduction of new supporters to the group and fellow supporters

  • Interact with new and existing supporters on match days

  • Availability for board meetings and regular check-ins with Chairman as needed

  • Assist with setup/teardown duties as often as needed per the Vice-Chairman

  • Assist with merchandise sales as needed per the Merchandise Manager

  • Assist with social media content as needed per the Communications Officer

  • Assist with additional tasks as needed per all board members

Self-nominations for these roles will be accepted until noon EDT on Monday, 11th August via the contact form. Anyone with an interest in helping steer the group, especially those with experience relevant to these roles, are encouraged to self-nominate. The Board will hold its vote and inform those elected prior to the season opener on 17th August.
