Commissioner: Danny Gilmore -  SJSlide (Incumbent)

Hi Everyone! My name is Danny, and I am one of the founding members of this League!  Way back in 2002, Tori Eakes and I with a determined group of women decided that San Jose needed a "League of Their Own" -- and through a lot of hard TEAM work, we got it started.  I have been on the board since the very beginning, and have put in several hundreds of hours of volunteering; I have held the position of Vice Commissioner of the “C” Division for four out of six of our years in existence. I have attended meetings, as well as chairing and running several fundraising events, running Play Days and Clinics, and coaching new teams to help this League grow because I care very deeply for our League.  I stepped in and assumed the interim role of Commissioner when our League needed one, and I would like to continue as your Commissioner.  I feel this last year has been a very successful one, with many changes and much growth.  I truly believe in you and this League and I would love to be able to keep serving you. Sincerely,
Danny 

Vice-Commissioner C-Division: Dawn Whelan -  Who's on First (Incumbent)

Hi my name is Dawn W., from the team of WOF.
I am running for VC of C Division. I have been in this spot since the beginning of the year. I have certainly learned a lot more about the league in this position but the most important thing I have learned is to listen to all of you and be "YOUR" voice for our division and league. I feel things have changed for the better and we can only continue in that direction. I would be honored to stay in this roll.  Please vote for me.
Cheers,
Dawn W

I have managed teams (O and Ball Busters) in the D-Division and have been on the board since spring 2005. I was elected Secretary in 2006.  Many of you may have noticed my marked absence last year as I was getting through a little cancer, but I am back better than ever. I love this league and the opportunities it has given me to meet new friends and play in a great atmosphere. I would love your vote and I welcome your suggestions always. Game On!

 Thanks, Sandie
