New Board Position!
Hey, Big Apple Family!
Looking to get more involved with BARS? Want to help make sure your fellow players have an amazing time each and every season? Have some great ideas you’d love to put into action? Well, we want YOU!
As our community has grown, our board continues to grow as needs arise. With the number of leagues and our ongoing effort to welcome and encourage diversity, we have created a Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion position. Please find a summation of the new position’s anticipated role within the league, below:
Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”) will continue to embed our equity commitment into the organization’s culture and policies, while supporting the organization in furthering efforts towards DEI within all leagues. They will help develop the organization’s vision, mission, and framework, including implementation and effectuation of a DEI Statement, as well as ensuring the current player participation and anti-harassment non-discrimination policies continue to conform with the equity commitment of the league. The Director of DEI will create project proposals of DEI initiatives, to be reviewed by the general board, and may be implemented within the leagues upon board approval. In efforts to formulate these proposals, the Director of DEI may recruit three members of the league for a DEI committee that the Director of DEI will oversee. These committee members will not be formal members of the board but will provide insight, awareness, and support to the Director of DEI.
Nomination Process
If you want to be considered for the role of Director of DEI, please send an e-mail to info@bigapplerecsports.com and let us know. Please include a statement about why you’d be a perfect fit for the position and feel free to add any ideas/proposals you may want to implement for the upcoming year.
You can also nominate your fellow league members! Send any nominations our way in the same format: who you are nominating and why you think they’d be perfect for the role. Before appearing on the ballot, we will reach out and make sure they accept the nomination.
