Executive Board

Rob Silliman

President

Robert H. Silliman Jr. has been an active and influential leader in the LGBTQ+ bowling community for more than three decades. His involvement began in 1995 when he joined his first gay bowling league in Boston. By 1999, after competing in his first tournament (NEIT), he discovered a passion for tournament play that would shape his long-term commitment to IGBO. He attended his first IGBO Annual in Denver in 2000, marking the beginning of a deep and sustained dedication to the organization.

Rob has held numerous leadership roles within the Boston bowling community. He served as President of the Beantown South League for more than ten years, founded the Beantown Central League in 2006, and led it as President for two years before serving an additional two years as Secretary. When Beantown Central and Beantown North merged in 2010, Rob became President of the unified Beantown League, a role he continues to hold.

His service to IGBO has been equally extensive. Rob began as an Alternate IGBO Representative from 2003 to 2005 before being elected Northeast Regional Director, a position he held from 2005 to 2010. During his tenure, he expanded the region’s leagues and tournaments and played a key role in bringing four IGBO Annual and Mid‑Year tournaments to the Northeast. In 2010, he was elected Vice President of IGBO and re‑elected in 2012. As Vice President, he served as an ad hoc member of all committees and contributed to the Newsletter Committee, the Bylaws Committee (as Chair), and the Bid Process and Support teams. He became IGBO Secretary in 2018.

In 2021, Rob was elected President of IGBO, and he is currently serving his third term. His leadership has been defined by a commitment to organizational growth, modernization, and strengthening IGBO’s long-term sustainability.

Professionally, Rob has worked in the oil industry for more than 40 years, holding both management and non‑management roles across Finance, Operations, Compliance, and Corporate Services.

He remains focused on guiding the organization into the future. His goals center on ensuring that IGBO continues to evolve with the needs of a modern membership, strengthening its infrastructure, and fostering a vibrant, inclusive community for generations to come.
