“I’ve been involved in the ADA since I joined the NAIA and have been the Red River Athletic Conference representative on the board since UHV joined the conference for the 2015-16 year,” stated Walyuchow. “I’m excited to contribute and help lead the ADA into the future and keep the positive momentum going. I look forward to working with the ADA to grow our active membership so that we have more athletics administrators engaged in our Association, the NAIA and NACDA.”
