Mel will be joining our team next week, bringing over 16 years of non-profit management and sports experience. She is excited to work with staff, volunteers, and board to continue executing our plan to strengthen our community. We will be in touch soon with details about opportunities to meet and get to know Mel. In the meantime, she'll be working closely with Bunny through the end of June to transition responsibilities. Come say hi to Mel at Bunny's party! A Huge Thanks to the DiscNW Community You are amazing. We’d like to thank you - our generous players, parents, and supporters - for your time and engagement throughout our ED search process. Without the help of members from the community to recruit applicants, improve interview questions, and evaluate candidates, our hiring committee would have been overwhelmed with the process. Instead, we found an exciting new ED who we can't wait to start working with. Thank you to everyone involved for stepping up to help ensure the best possible leader for DiscNW!

The hiring committee received over thirty applications for the ED position, almost a third of whom were highly qualified DiscNW players. This demonstrates how lucky we are, as an organization, to have such active engagement from our community. Our phone screens, interviews, and discussions with each and every candidate helped us improve our understanding of what players are thinking about, and we appreciate every second of the process. We hope to take these learnings and provide more opportunities for consistent community feedback into DiscNW processes.

Thank you for being a part of DiscNW. We look forward to working with you to build the future of our community together. See you on the fields!
