In case you missed earlier announcements, there have been some changes on the National Commodore Club and Athletics Development staff over the summer.
We wished Executive Director Christy Passmore and long-time Commodore Lucy Jones the very best as they both retired June 30.
Mark Carter, who last year was our Director of Athletics Development, is now our Executive Director. He brings exciting new ideas, a strong development background and a solid commitment to Vanderbilt Athletics. There is a detailed feature on Mark found on our athletic web site, VUCommodores.com.
Also promoted were Bart Smith, who came to Vanderbilt from Duke last year, and Sterling Frierson, who has been on the Vanderbilt athletic staff since 2005, the past (two) with the NCC. Smith is the new Director of the National Commodore Club and Athletics Development and Frierson is Assistant Director of the National Commodore Club and Athletics Development.
NCC veteran Robin Langlois, who has been outstanding in her role as Member Services Coordinator, will continue to serve our members. So too will Michelle Parks who many of you know as the smiling face when you walk in the front door or the friendly voice on the other end of the phone when you call the office.
Kendal Duncan who joined the staff this past year and who has a great athletics pedigree will continue in her role as an Assistant to National Commodore Club and Athletics Development staff. Finally, our newest staff member is Nik Aamlid who joined our team this summer as a volunteer intern after completing his master’s degree in sports administration at Belmont.
We look forward to renewing friendships and making your acquaintance soon. We hope to see you at the Elon game in less than a month!
