Also, the Management Council must include at least nine athletics directors/senior woman administrators, two chief executive officers and two faculty athletics representatives. Three of the members must be ethnic minorities, eight must be male and eight must be female.

The Management Council officially comes into existence in August but an orientation session is planned in February to prepare the council members for their responsibilities.

Members of the Management Council as presented to the Division III membership are:

James R. Appleton, president at University of Redlands, transition team member; Albert D. Bean Jr., athletics director at University of Southern Maine; Bridget Belgiovine, director of athletics at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, steering committee and transition team member; John S. Biddiscombe, AD at Wesleyan University, steering committee and transition team member; Stanley P. Caine, president at Adrian College, steering committee and transition team member; Lynda J. Calkins, AD at Hollins College, steering committee and transition team member; Carlyle Carter, executive director of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference; Mary Jo Gunning, AD at Marywood College, steering committee and transition team member; Maureen Hager, associate AD at Allegheny College; Linda S. Moulton, AD at Clark University (Massachusetts), transition team member; Linda E. Hopple, executive director of the Middle Atlantic States Athletic Conference, steering committee and transition team member; Walter J. Johnson, AD at North Central College, steering committee and transition team member; Louise O'Neal, AD at Wellesley College; Richard A. Rasmussen, executive secretary of the University Athletic Association, steering committee and transition team member; Ginny Studer, dean of the school of arts and performance and faculty athletics representative at State University College at Brockport; Truman D. Turnquist, professor of chemistry and department chair and faculty athletics representative at Mount Union College; and Robert E. Williams, AD at Swarthmore College, steering committee and transition team member.

Two student-athlete representatives also will serve on the Management Council. The NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee has been asked to recommend two persons -- a male and a female -- as student-athlete representatives. Those recommendations should be in place before the slate is presented at the Division III business session.

Members of the new Division III Budget Committee, Championships Committee and Nominating Committee also have been named. As with the Management Council, no conference could have more than one representative and current committee members were allowed to complete their current terms. Also, some appointments are for terms of less than four years.

Budget Committee

The eight-member Division III Budget Committee consists of the vice-chair of the Presidents Council; the vice-chair of the Management Council; one additional Management Council member; one additional Presidents Council member; one Championships Committee representative; one chief executive officer at large who cannot also serve on the Presidents Council, Management Council or Championships Committee; and two at-large athletics administrators who do not serve on the Management Council or Championships Committee.

Seven of the eight members have been appointed. The slot designated for the vice-chair of the Management Council has not been filled, pending discussion by the Division III Steering Committee at its pre-Convention meeting. It is anticipated that this individual will serve as the vice-chair of the steering committee immediately and then as vice-chair of the Management Council when it is implemented in August.

Members of the Budget Committee are Curtis L. McCray, president at Millikin University, Presidents Council vice-chair; Calkins; Robert W. Neff, president at Juniata College, Presidents Council member; Daniel L. Bridges, AD at California Institute of Technology, Championships Committee member; David G. Carter, president at Eastern Connecticut State University, CEO at large; Judith M. Sweet, AD at the University of California, San Diego, at-large athletics administrator; and John H. Harvey, AD at Carnegie Mellon University, at-large athletics administrator.

Championships Committee

The new Championships Committee is an expansion of the existing Division III Championships Committee. The present five-member committee is being expanded to nine members, including one student-athlete representative.

Appointments to the Championships Committee are contingent on approval of noncontroversial legislation to revise the requirements of Bylaw 21.10.6.2.1 requiring one representative per district. With the modification, the representation would be one per region. Because of the limited number of Division III members in some districts, modification of the legislation is a practical necessity.

The Division III Steering Committee will consider a noncontroversial amendment at its January meeting.

Championships Committee members continuing from the existing committee are Belgiovine, Williams, Hopple and Bridges. New members are Biddiscombe; Johnson; Michael J. Kovalchik, Hillsdale College AD; and Lawrence R. Schiner, AD at Jersey City State College.

It also is anticipated that individuals who have been closely involved in the development of relevant championships models may be asked to serve as consultants to the committee, as necessary.

Nominating Committee

The new Division III Nominating Committee is composed of the four Division III representatives on the existing Association-wide Nominating Committee and four new members. The committee must include four former Division III officers or former Council members, one Management Council member and one CEO who is a current or former member of the Management Council.

Continuing members are Arthur Eason, AD at William Paterson College; Jenepher P. Shillingford, AD at Bryn Mawr College; Belgiovine; and Porter Miller, AD at Earlham College. Newly appointed members are Robert G. Bottoms, president at DePauw University; Edward G. Coll Jr., president at Alfred University; Marjorie B. Giles, director of retention and leadership development programs and faculty athletics representative at Central College (Iowa); and O'Neal.
