- Christopher Cashion "I have been a coach with Florida Fire Juniors since 2010, on both the boys and girls side, and I've been the Girl’s ADOC for the past two seasons (BIO). I have also lived in Southwest Florida my whole life, growing up playing soccer for this very club. I want to be a part of this club, not just as a coach developing young athletes, but to be an intricate part in bettering our community."
- Stephen Sawyer "If you elect me, I will bring an objective, soccer-educated, broad perspective to the BOD. As a non-parent, I will always consider what is best for the club as a whole, rather than be swayed by personal bias. Additionally, having devoted my career to player development, I have a wealth of soccer-related experience and education that will help guide the Club. Finally, I have played in, worked for, recruited from, and established relationships with numerous soccer clubs throughout the country. The experience and network I have allows me to bring a broad perspective and innovative ideas to the table."
- Jack Togher "I have been involved in many aspects of soccer for 35+ years. I played four years of varsity soccer, and coached all 3 of my children’s teams. I am passionate about soccer and enjoy watching children grow and learn to love the game. I believe soccer teaches commitment, sacrifice, hard work and unity – which are all important life lessons. I would like to give back to the community that has served our family for 20 years. I am committed to increasing the success of the club and want your child's experience to be enjoyable and educational."
- Pam Vickaryous "My goal = get MORE for your child and your money in the program! My skills= Parent of 3 FFJ players + Educator + BOD Experience. I’m asking for your vote today! I’m a 43-year-old mother of three who loves soccer and kids! I believe we need a female on the board and representation for parents. I’m a 21-year educator who serves children and parents daily as a School Principal. I love working to build better results for kids and families! I’m hoping to help with communication, the details and bring fresh ideas to the BOD."
