Tom Holder

Seven years in the league

What talents/skills do you possess that will benefit Nebraska Senior Softball?

I know, by name, 95% (or more) of the players in the league. I have been in the league for over 7 years now. I have been a Manager for 5 of those years. I believe that I am approachable, sincere, and respected.

Briefly state why you wish to hold an Office/Position on the NSS Board of Directors:

The league is very healthy now. That should not be taken for granted. It takes a lot of “behind the scenes” work to maintain a healthy organization. I have previously served a 3-year term in the Board. I believe I will bring trustworthy leadership to the Board if I am elected.

Mike Marlow

Four years in the league

What talents/skills do you possess that will benefit Nebraska Senior Softball?

Having helped many board positions in the past, the one that relates to this program is my time with Sioux City Softball Association.  During my five-year term, I served as a normal board member and ended my last two years as the President.  During my President term, we had to relocate from our ten-field complex because the railroad created a new track.  Having to create a new field for our players, I worked closely with the Sioux City Parks & Rec department and the mayor to make sure we hit all our needs at the time.  During this process, we negotiated deals with Culvers (new kid’s park), Coca-Cola (new scoreboards), and others to help make our five-field park special for everyone.
On top of those duties, I served as the USSSA Eastern Iowa Director for the Slow Pitch division from 2002 to 2008.  My main role was ensuring all the slow pitch teams were registered and communicated well for tournaments.  I hosted and directed over fifty tournaments during my term.
Besides my softball volunteer work, I own and manage several multimillion-dollar businesses.
Having been in this league for three years now, I have enjoyed the process and structure.  There is a ton of great individuals who show up every week to have fun and compete.  Over the three years, my name has come up, saying I am a rogue person or hard to deal with. That is the opposite of who I am.  As a business owner, if I see a better way or a better solution, I will push to make it happen.  I am a solutions guy; we need new lights for the park.  Well, I have already gone to the city council board members to push for change – that is still in the process stages.  We need to attract new players; I am the one who started the Facebook page and put in $300 for marketing boosts last year.  But I am not afraid to make the organization better and more attractive for the players, fans, and potential players.
Lastly, I am taking a neutral position on many topics.  Being fair-minded, I look at many factors before making decisions—impact, execution, and results.
Let’s make the league prosper while making it enjoyable along the way.

Briefly state why you wish to hold an Office/Position on the NSS Board of Directors:

I would like to contribute my softball and business experience to help the Nebraska Senior Softball League continue its rich traditions.

AJ Buschelman

Three years in the league

What talents/skills do you possess that will benefit Nebraska Senior Softball?

I have played at all levels of Softball, and it’s great to help players in anyway that I can . And the league needs more players to step up and help. I play on a competitive travel team and that’s all about family and trusting the players.

Briefly state why you wish to hold an Office/Position on the NSS Board of Directors:

In my personal opinion, that the board need some fresh eyes to see and listen to the players THAT make this league and not do what they bring up. It’s an option board that SHOULD follow all the rules and not the ones they think is important. I would advocate for the players and much as I can to the board.
