CMU SID Moves Into President's Role
June 30, 2000
MOUNT PLEASANT - Central Michigan University sports information director Fred Stabley Jr., was installed as president of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) during the annual CoSIDA Workshop in St. Louis, Mo., on Wednesday.
Stabley has served on the board for the past four years - two years as a university division representative and the past two years as the third and second vice-president. CoSIDA has a membership of more than 1,800 and includes SIDs from Division I, II, III, NAIA and junior colleges in North America.
"It's a great honor for Central Michigan University, the Mid-American Conference and me to be president," said Stabley, who starts his 19th year at CMU on Aug. 30. "It has special meaning for me because my father (Fred, Sr.) was a founding father of CoSIDA and also served as its president."
The late Fred Stabley, Sr., was the SID at Michigan State from 1948-80 and served as the CoSIDA president in 1958-59. Other officers on the board for 2000-2001 are: first vice-president, Pete Moore (Syracuse), second vice-president, Alan Cannon (Texas A & M) and third vice-president, Tammy Boclair (Vanderbilt).
The 2001 CoSIDA Workshop is in San Diego on July 1-4.
