Stephen Zenishek will remain as Treasurer for the fourth consecutive term.

Carlos Nascimento is a first-time board member and was elected to the position of Secretary. After some time away from the club and a triumphant return, Carlos has injected new passion into the club and will be a fantastic addition to the board.

Rhiannon Duryea will serve as Member at Large for a second consecutive year. A glutton for punishment, Duryea will serve as a liaison between players and board to make sure all member concerns are addressed and help ensure the club is running efficiently.

In addition to the voting members of the board, two non-voting seats have been created and filled. Dave Zitko, while not slinging drinks at his hot new cocktail bar No Ordinary Rabbit, will be head of Football Operations and assist in ensuring training, game and metro schedules are set and training grounds are secured. Newcomer Zach Schmidt will take on the role of Marketing Manager. With a current background in marketing, Zach is excited to start working on the algorithm to get the STLAFC brand out to a broader market.
