Hello, I am Bil Caillier.  My purpose for wanting to re-join BOD:

I see this time as the opportunity to expand volleyball after Covid set us back.  I am firm that the clubs are the answer to this growth and all my focus will be on how to support and help clubs grow.  That is not a simple problem to solve but it will be at the core of all my discussions and decisions.

I also feel that a few clear rules are better than too many.  To me, too many rules become complex and then a lot of time will be spent trying to understand the rules or policing them.

I love setting goals, measuring progress, and then adjusting along with accountability and transparency throughout the process.

I believe that it is our region’s responsibility (staff and BOD) to strive to unite our volleyball community for these things.  Volleyball is a great tool for bringing us together and being human to one another.

EXPERIENCE:

• 5 years serving on PSR Board of Directors, including serving as Chair to the BOD.
• 20 years as a club coach (and time as shared club director) at Kent Juniors
• 3 seasons as USAV official

Thank you,
Bil

My name is Molly Donahue, and I am excited to submit my application to the Board of Directors of Puget Sound Region Volleyball. My passions are for youth mentoring and volleyball development, and I hope to be considered for this position.

I have lived in the Pacific Northwest my whole life – I played for Cascade Volleyball Club in high school, competed in college at Lewis & Clark College, and now am proud to be the head volleyball coach at Edmonds Woodway High School and College Place Middle School. I have been active as an adult in the PSRVB community since 2015. As a club coach for Bothell Volleyball Club from 2015 until 2021, I became interested in officiating when I observed a shortage of qualified officials in our region. I joined as a Provisional in 2016 and have been officiating both in-region and out of region for the past 8 seasons. In spring 2023, I received my Regional rating. In addition to PSR, I am also an active NCAA official with the Western Washington Board of Collegiate Officials and serve as the board treasurer for the organization.

Outside of volleyball, I am the Director of Development at Bloodworks Northwest. I have worked in fundraising and non-profit positions for 8 years. I am also the co-chair of the Diversity & Inclusion Council at Bloodworks and was responsible for launching the Employee Resource Group (ERG) initiative this past spring, launching groups for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and Disabled coworkers.

I am dedicated to serving others. While PSRVB provides incredible opportunities for young athletes to grow as players and people, we could always be doing more to ensure we are fostering a healthy and stable volleyball community. My goals in joining the board are to contribute to the broadening of access to volleyball across our region, assist with building a knowledgeable cohort of officials, and contribute to the overall operations of the organization with my robust administrative skills.

Thank you for the opportunity!
Molly Donahue
