NDG Little League Baseball

Board of Directors

2007


Introduction

The visible part of NDG Minor Baseball are the coaches and players on the field. Yet, behind the scenes there are a few dedicated volunteers working hard year round, planning, organizing, attending meetings in NDG and elsewhere, and resolving problems year round in an attempt to make the season more enjoyable for all. Below is a list and some background information on the NDG Baseball Board of Directors for the year 2007.
