  • New York Minor Board G.A.A. Chairman Danny Brown

    This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Danny Brown the Chairman of the New York Minor Board, we had a very interesting and informative chat, and I hope you enjoy it. Below are a few links if you want to learn more about the NY Minor Board GAA

    In 1970 a group of dedicated volunteers came together and formed the New York Minor Board. This board was dedicated to the development of the GAA in the tri-state area and within a few years 19 clubs from all over NYC, New Jersey and Connecticut had affiliated to the board with competitions from U10-U21. Several of the clubs that were formed back in those early years are still around today with clubs such as NY Rangers, St Raymonds, St Joesphs, Rockland, St Barnabas, Westput, New Haven and the NY Celtics tracing their origins back to the early 1970’s. Some of the clubs that existed then that do not exist now are Fordham Shamrocks, Fordham Gaelic Athletic Club, Good Shepherd (Inwood), JFK (Long Island), Park Slope Shamrocks (Brooklyn), New Hyde Park Gaels (Long Island)

    I enjoyed interviewing Danny Donovan this week; his story is truly enlightening. Hope you enjoy our chat.
    Danny’s 37-year career has taken him from a Building Superintendent to the Executive Director of Mechanical Maintenance and Operations/Energy for the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS). He has also served as an adjunct professor at City University of New York (CUNY) Building Performance Labs.

    Over the years, Danny has lectured at various Department of Energy events throughout New York City, including at the Javits Center.

    Notably, Danny was selected as one of only 10 individuals from across the USA to serve on a committee for the Department of Energy in Washington, D.C., as well as for CUNY’s Building Performance Lab. This group is responsible for developing a new online instructional course available to building operators in all 50 states.
    In addition to his impressive career, Danny also started his school that offers preparatory classes for the NYC High Pressure Boiler Stationary Engineers’ practical exam.
