GSFO.jpgThe Granite State Football Officials (GSFO) recently held its annual meeting at the Boston Billiards Club in Nashua. The GSFO contracts with the IWFL (Independent Woman's Football League) to officiate home games for the league's Manchester Freedom franchise at West Memorial Field.  The GSFO also travels to officiate games at IWFL venues in Portland, Maine, Providence R.I., Montreal, and Brockton Mass.

GSFO executive board elections were held and the following officials were elected to serve two year terms:  president - Bert Lawlor, vice president - David Dickson, treasurer - Timothy Begley, commissioner - Jim Lally. Brian Williams, Neal Vogler and Andre Arel were granted active-member status, while Mark Liss was appointed to act as Liason with the IWFL league office in Houston Texas.

The GSFO was founded in 2004. In 2006, the GSFO provided the officiating crew for the IWFL's Eastern Conference Championship between the Atlanta Xplosion and Bay State Marauders held in Boston.
