| To be the 63rd president of CBOA is an extreme honor and to follow in the footsteps of Past Presidents from New Jersey; Norm Van Arsdalen, Edgar Cartotto, Jerry Salvato and Ray Perone makes it even more meaningful. A word of thanks to my mentor and friend Tom Lopes for his guidance through my early years on the Executive Board and preparing me to take on the job of President of this great organization. I would also like to thank our 62nd President Barry Schultz for his leadership and inspiration.
I’ve always been taught that patience and loyalty are some of the key aspects to being successful in officiating and in life. We are a very diverse organization it will be a goal of mine to instill these two keys to our young and ambitious as well as our older and wiser members.
During my 23 years of interaction with coaches and administrators it has remained constant that regardless of who assigns the games, they want CBOA officials. Our landscape is changing make no mistake about it. With the present contract coming to an end and conferences looking in different directions, it will be my responsibility to lead our organization through these exciting times. With the help of Tom O’Conner and the Executive Board, my objective as President is to present to the membership a new contract that is fair to all areas of CBOA. |
