A structure without a single name
The rulebook defines the board of directors precisely: the commissioners of each division, the President of the League, and the CEO of the League. It can suspend any player or manager by majority vote for conduct prejudicial to the welfare, interest, reputation or charter of the league. A division commissioner decides most code-of-conduct violations alone and reports to the board. Grievances go to a commissioner; appeals go to the board, and the board's decisions are final and not appealable.
Not one of those people is named anywhere on the site. A player facing suspension knows the office that will decide it and not the person.
A High Cheese league page attaches a working contact to each of those roles, so a grievance goes to a commissioner rather than to a general enquiry address.
