The following notes are from the NYSPHSAA board meeting this month where they gave a NYSAAA Update …
NYSAAA Past President, Denise Kiernan, developed a statewide initiative for a mentoring program and will be working with the Chapters in implementing the model that she envisions.
The program is designed for new and beginning AD’s in their first or three years of athletic administration.
It also complements the “Aspiring AD Program” initiated by Chapter 11 and Dr. Jim Wright, and now by Greg Warren, CMAA across the state.
The NYSAAA Executive Board has moved along in its plan to develop a five year Strategic Plan over this next year. The final approval is targeted for the 2022 Conference. The overall Chair will be Robert Stulmaker, CAA.
The three subcommittees will be Operations (Dr. Mira Martincich & Nina Van Erk); Finance (TBA); and Programs (Donald Webster, CMAA).
Forty-five AD’s across the state have volunteered and 24 will be assigned to one of the three subcommittees this month. The association has schedule August 15-17, 2021 for a two day retreat at the Desmond in Albany to develop the plan under the leadership of facilitator, Bruce Whitehead, CMAA of Indianapolis, IN.
