Our Executive Board Members
Executive Board
President - Stacy Blois
Stacy joined the KVGSA board in 2013 in the Secretary role. Stacy lives in Quispamsis with her husband Jason and has a son, Seth. Stacy has the pleasure of being retired, and some would say KVGSA is her job of choice, albeit volunteer!
After years of playing ball, first baseball, then softball, Stacy came to KVGSA in 2012 wanting to give back to the game that has been such a huge part of her life.
Stacy strives to provide a safe place to play and develop for all girls. She is NCCP Competitive Development certified, a trained Can Pitch instructor, as well as receiving coaching certifications related to coaching girls in sport.
Stacy was an Assistant Coach of the 2021 Women's Canada Games Softball Team for NB, and served on the Team NB Mission Staff at the Canada Games in 2025.
Vice President - Karen Parker
Karen Parker was born and raised in Quispamsis, only leaving to attend UNB Fredericton where she completed a Bachelor of Physical Education degree. She is married to Greg and has 1 daughter Kate. She is the Recreation Therapist at Carleton Kirk Lodge nursing home.
Karen started volunteering with KVGSA with the Learn to Play program for the 2014 and 2015 seasons. In 2016, she took on a new role as Manager of the U12 Dynamite team. She continued to manage a Dynamite team every season until 2019. Karen also had the opportunity to be part of the planning committee for the U12 Atlantic Championships in 2017 and the U14 Eastern Canadian Championships in 2019. Karen also serves as the Recreational League Coordinator for KVGSA. Karen has enjoyed all of the opportunities that softball and KVGSA has provided her and her family.
Executive Director - Shawn Titus
Shawn joined the KVGSA executive in 2023 after watching his daughter’s growth in her first 4 years of the program.
He has played softball at the provincial and national level and continues to play locally when time permits.
Shawn has 25 years of experience leading an adult hockey league that serves Saint John and the surrounding communities, along with 20 years of experience serving on multiple community boards in various capacities.
This is an opportunity to invest in a program that gives girls the chance to grow life skills and learn the game of softball at the same time.
Treasurer - Julie Pugsley
Julie joined the board in 2025 after having volunteered as an assistant coach for her daughter Brynn’s team in the summer of 2024. Julie played ball when she was younger and was really excited when her daughter finally expressed interest in joining the league as softball is one of the only sports Julie really enjoys watching. When the board was searching for a treasurer, Julie decided to offer to help out as she has many years of experience doing financial management for her small business as well as various other non-profits and charities she’s worked with in the past. Julie is married to her husband Matt and has three wonderful kids – Kai, Brynn and Addie.
Dynamite Director - Meryl Coes
Meryl joined the KVGSA Board in 2023. Meryl is from Saint John but moved to Quispamsis in 2011. Meryl is married to John and is mom to 2 fantastic girls, Madison, 12 years old and Riley, age 10
Meryl is an Administrative Assistant with the Town of Quispamsis. Meryl has been a member with KV Girls Softball since 2017 when her oldest daughter started playing.
Meryl is very happy and excited to be involved with KVGSA on the executive board.
Technical Director - Greg Parker
Greg grew up in Quispamsis where he played travel ball for many years. His love of ball expanded into softball as his daughter, Kate, became more involved. Greg started volunteering with KVGSA in 2014 in the Learn to Play program. He then transitioned to coaching in the Dynamite program for several years. Greg was a pitcher so taking an interest in pitching seemed like a natural fit which led him to become KVGSA’s pitching coach. Along with his daughter, Greg conducts pitching clinics both within KVGSA and around the province. His knowledge and creativity made him the perfect candidate for Technical Director. Greg joined the Board of Directors in 2022.
Secretary - Amanda Doherty
Amanda joined the board in 2023 after having been an on field volunteer for her daughter Lauren's team.
Amanda's love for softball started many years ago when she started to play fastpitch at a young age which continued into her adult years when she played in a ladies fastpitch league. She continues to play to this day on a Co-Ed slo pitch team.
In her younger years, having had to bounce all over Saint John and KV to find a softball team to play on, she is so happy to be a part of this amazing program! KVGSA makes it possible for young girls to be a part of a team and fall in love with the sport by inspiring and developing each and every girl.
On the field, Amanda has been a team manager, and then moved to coaching in 2025. In 2026, Amanda will be working as an assistant coach to the U13 Dynamite team!
Parent Liaison - Jaclyn Lo
Jaclyn joined the board in 2024 and as the voice of our membership. She plays a dual role on the board, also being the coaches coordinator. She moved to Dynamite coaching last year in U9. In the fall of 2024 she took on additional role of pitching instructor with coach Greg. This year, she has taken on the role of Head Coach for the U11 Dynamite team.
