I was on the board of a small officials association several years ago that was founded to serve a small private JH and HS league. Our president was also instrumental in founding the HS league itself. For a few years he served as both the president of the officials association and the commissioner of the HS league.
As league commissioner, he did not have a vote on league issues, but was allowed to present his opinions. He was also an active offical for games in the league.
He worked hard to avoid any conflicts, however, there were several occasions where certain schools or teams perceived a conflict.
From my experience, I would reccommend against trying to do both jobs. Even though I'm sure you will work to avoid any potential conflicts, the perception of a conflict will almost always arise.
