University of South Florida head coach Jose Fernandez is the association's new vice president/president-elect.

NCAA Division II Coach Director — Mike Brandt, head coach, Minot State University. NCAA Division III Coach Director — Carissa Sain, head coach, Illinois Institute of Technology. Scholastic Coach Director — Kathy Maguire-Stoudt, head coach, Rising Sun High School (Maryland). Assistant Coach Director — Steve Yang, assistant coach, California Baptist University.

All new voting directors with the exception of Roe Lach were selected to their positions by the board during a special meeting on June 7. Roe Lach was appointed by the NCAA Division I Collegiate Commissioner's Association. "Our 2023-24 WBCA Board of Directors is diverse, engaged, experienced and eager to address the challenges facing our association as we continue to navigate the post-pandemic world in which we live," said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew.

WBCA BOARD OF DIRECTORS WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS DURING IN-PERSON SUMMER MEETING continued from page B-1

During its July 20 meeting, the board: Reappointed Texas A&M University head coach Joni Taylor (NCAA Division I) and Hope College head coach Brian Morehouse (NCAA Division III) to the executive committee. Appointed University of West Florida head coach Stephanie Yelton (NCAA Division II) and Julie Roe Lach (athletic administrator) to the executive committee. Approved the association's budget for the 202324 fiscal year which begins Sept. 1, 2023, and continues through Aug. 31, 2024. Authorized Donehew to move forward with exploring the feasibility of establishing multi-team events under the auspices of the WBCA. The initiative would increase the number of neutral site non-conference game opportunities which are limited in women's basketball and be a supplemental revenue stream for the association. Received an update from Donehew on Coaches+, which is a joint initiative of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the WBCA. Coaches+ created two women’s basketball documentaries that aired on CBS this year — “Dear Coach Stringer” about C. Vivian Stringer and her 1982 Cheyney State team and “Knew Me When” which highlights a few coaches and players. Heard a report from Donehew on Globl Jam which was July 7-16 in Toronto. The Louisville Cardinals and head coach Jeff Walz, who represented the WBCA and the United States in the international showcase, won the gold medal. Heard a presentation by NCAA Division I Coach Director Charmin Smith, head coach, University of California, Berkeley, on the "Race for Change" program — a nationwide 5K fundraiser originated by UC San Diego that promotes social justice — and outlined how other programs might participate. The board voted to support the program by creating a kit and promoting it to the membership. Recognized and heard a presentation by Tim Stoner, the WBCA's first general counsel, on his involvement in the association's founding and early years. Heard a presentation by Kay Yow Cancer Fund CEO

Jenny Palmateer on the Fund's activities and plans for the 2023-24 Play4Kay initiative. The Fund is the WBCA's charity of choice. Discussed plans for the 2024 WBCA Convention in Cleveland. Here is the complete 2023-24 WBCA Board of Directors roster:

Colenda begins fourth term as Board Member

NORTH EAST, Md. – Cecil College has served the residents of Cecil County for half a century with the steady guidance and support of its board of trustees. Being a member of the College’s board isn’t just about putting a title on a resume. It is about believing and living the possibilities Cecil College offers for creating a stronger and more prosperous community. Sarah W. Colenda has embodied Cecil College’s mission of transforming lives through education for more than 18 years. A lifelong resident of Cecil County, she has been a member of the board of trustees since 2005, serving as Chair for six years. She officially began her fourth term on the board last week after being sworn in by Chief Deputy Clerk for Cecil County Brandy Douglas. “The pride I have for serving Cecil College and Cecil County is incredible. I have watched this College transform over its 55-year history. I love working for the College, and I can work for the county that I love every day,” said Colenda. Cecil College was founded the year Colenda graduated from high school, allowing her to view the growing pains of the institution over the years. Her family ties to the College are strong, as her husband, Allen, taught HVAC and electronics at then Cecil Community College for eight years following his service in the military. Her eldest daughter Gina later graduated from Cecil, while her youngest daughter Rebecca took classes at Cecil College before earning her bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware on a volleyball scholarship. Her son, John, also attended Cecil College before completing his bachelor’s degree from Millersville University. As a Cecil College board member, Colenda has supported the growth of the Cecil College Foundation and its scholarship power for students in need. Working closely with the college administration, Colenda and her fellow board members shared this important initiative with their community, political, and business partners to establish and grow the College’s endowment. The Foundation provides financial assistance for non-credit students in addition to those seeking an associate degree. Specifically, Cecil College offers a CDL truck driver training program, skilled trades training in welding, HVAC, and automotive repair, as well as several certifications in healthcare. Scholarships cover

the cost of tuition and classroom materials such as books. These programs are organized to help displaced workers and individuals seeking a different line of work. “Without exception, everybody I have worked with on the board has been passionate about the College. They are bright, they know the business world, they ask the right questions, and we have always worked as a team,” said Colenda. Along with helping to grow the Foundation, Colenda has been instrumental in helping to enhance the College’s facilities. She joined the Cecil College Board of Trustees in 2005 and was present for the Elkton Station ribbon-cutting ceremony. Elkton Station replaced an older facility so the College could better serve the eastern region of Cecil County and provide an excellent opportunity for the people of Elkton to have educational resources in their neighborhood. She also oversaw the renovations of the Physical Education Complex and the most recent addition to the North East Campus, the artificial turf athletic field. In 2018, the board approved the construction of the athletic practice facility next to the baseball and softball fields, built from private donations. Colenda credits the success of the College’s day-to-day operations to the leadership of Cecil College President Mary Way Bolt, Ed.D. Dr. Bolt, who was born and raised in Rising Sun, graduated from Cecil College, and returned to rise through the ranks and become the College’s fifth president. “I am so proud of what Dr. Bolt has accomplished, where she is, and how completely dedicated she is to this College. She is admired not only in this county but on the state and national level,” said Colenda. “In addition, we are blessed to have such wonderful faculty and staff who genuinely care about our students. They are not just plugging along and doing a job. They are committed.” “There is not a finer place on the planet than Cecil County. I love Cecil County and the College. The economic diversity in this county is vast, so Cecil College plays a vital role in helping people help themselves.”

100 percent of Cecil College’s PTA graduates pass the national licensing exam

NORTH EAST, Md.: The Cecil College Physical Therapist Assistant Program has achieved 100 percent first-time pass rate for six of the past eight years on the national licensing exam. Program Director Deanna Smith attributes the success to the quality of instruction provided by their faculty, the commitment and dedication of their students, and the support of the college community. The PTA program was developed at Cecil College in 2015, recently graduated its eighth cohort, and achieved ten-year full accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education in 2021.
