New WADA Board Members are installed
By Mike Bates
Information Coordinator, WADA
Mark Kryka of Verona assumed the duties of
President of the
Wisconsin Athletic Directors Association (WADA) during the final day of
the 38th annual WADA Workshop held in Appleton in November.
Pete
Miller, now the Past-President, presented Kryka with the official WADA gavel
and WADA ring in the traditional
“Passing-of-the-Presidency” ceremony during the Windup Luncheon… the
final event of the 4-day Workshop.
Jeff
Sitz of Wisconsin Lutheran is now the President-Elect of the WADA.
Bill Vickroy of
Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln High School was chosen as the WADA
Vice President in voting by the WADA membership. It is a 4-year commitment, as the person selected will
serve one year each, in order, as Vice President, President Elect, President,
and Past President. Jeff Sitz
presided over the election, which took place during the WADA Annual Meeting.
Also, elections were held in
three Districts, at the respective Fall Caucus in November during the
Workshop,
and the voting resulted in the following being selected to serve
a 2-year term for the WADA:
District 2: Pam
Huston, Wausau West (District Rep) & Paul Johnson, Rhinelander;
District 4: Carl
Eggebrecht, Waupaca (District Rep) & Kathy Bates, Xavier;
District 6: Jim
Kluge, Badger (District Rep) &
Signe Schecher, Mayville.
The
NIAAA Liaison for Wisconsin is now a member of the WADA Board, and Barb
Deichl, CAA, of Waterford was selected to that position.
Also, the proposed changes in the WADA bylaws met
with approval by the WADA membership during the Annual Meeting. An annual review of the bylaws is
delegated by the WADA Board, and it was determined by a special committee
that a thorough review of the bylaws was needed to adequately reflect the
changes and growth made by the association.
The
WADA Board expressed its appreciation to the committee, particularly
chairperson
Linzi Gronning of Holmen, for the many hours of work put in by the committee
to provide the WADA membership with the amendments. Other committee members: John Frizzell of Wisconsin Dells, Brian Smith of Waunakee,
Greg Smith of West De Pere and Todd Sobrilsky of Beaver Dam.
The
WADA bylaws may be reviewed on the WADA web site: www.wadawi.org.
The
Workshop was held at the Paper Valley Hotel in downtown Appleton, and over
400 individuals from around the state were on hand.
