考德威尔,爱达荷州 – College of Idaho Vice President of 体育运动 里根罗西 has been named the 3rd Vice President of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of 体育运动 (NACDA) for the 2025-26 academic year, marking a historic milestone not only for the College, but for small-college athletics nationwide.

Rossi is the 第一位NAIA代表 selected to serve in NACDA’s officer rotation, and just the third non-NCAA Division I administrator in the Association’s 60-plus-year history to do so. 她也是近十年来第一个担任NACDA官员职位的小学院管理员，此前来自NCAA第二分部（大峡谷州立大学，2007-2016年）和NCAA第三分部（科尔比学院，1969-1973年）的代表。

她的任命使她在未来几年成为NACDA主席，在国家舞台上为NAIA和小型学校田径运动发出重要的声音。

“It’s an honor to be chosen as NACDA’s 3rd Vice President,” said Rossi. “I am confident in our commitment to elevate the voice of college athletics, and shape the future of our profession through service, vision and an unwavering commitment to the student-athletes and their success. I feel blessed to be among an amazing group of leaders.”

罗西自2023年以来一直在NACDA执行委员会任职，最近刚刚完成了NAIA田径董事协会主席的任期。 她在2022-23年度被评为NACDA年度体育总监，并在好事达NACDA优秀团队评选委员会任职。

她加入了一个官员小组，包括校长肖恩·t·弗雷泽（北伊利诺伊大学），第一副校长彭尼·帕克（罗林斯学院），第二副校长怀特·巴布科克（弗吉尼亚理工大学）和秘书克里斯蒂娜·亨德利（天堂谷CC）。

Rossi’s long-standing commitment to the College of Idaho began in 1995 as an assistant coach on the newly reinstated women’s basketball team. 2001年，她以主教练的身份回到考德威尔大学，后来担任了《教育法第九条》协调员，并担任了11年。 她于2014年过渡到全职管理，2016年被任命为田径主任，并于2021年晋升为田径副总裁。

“Reagan has not only built a successful career in the AD chair, she has established herself as a role model in the industry,” said NACDA Chief Executive Officer Pat Manak. “The standard of excellence she holds and the level of service she provides to her staff, student-athletes and institutional community make her a perfect fit for NACDA’s leadership.”

Rossi’s appointment is a landmark moment for the College of Idaho, the Cascade Collegiate Conference, and the broader NAIA membership, and it ensures that small-college athletics will have a seat at the table in shaping the future of intercollegiate sports.
