National Search for Commissioner to Take Place
PORTLAND, Ore. – The Cascade Collegiate Conference Council of Presidents Chair, Dr. Bob Davies, announced that a national search to replace outgoing Commissioner, Dave Haglund, will commence after the first of the year.
Haglund was selected as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) Commissioner and begins his duties with the NCAA Div. 2 conference on Jan. 9.
“Dave will be extremely missed by all of us in the CCC and the NAIA,” Davies said. “He elevated our conference by securing and hosting national championships, use of multimedia /promotional platforms and provided fantastic service on all fronts to the membership.”
It was also announced that Rob Cashell, the Director of Athletics at Eastern Oregon University, has been named Interim Commissioner and will handle the day to day duties of the conference along with his duties at EOU until a permanent replacement for Haglund is selected.
The search process will involve a wide representation of individuals from throughout the conference including Presidents, Athletic Directors and FAR’s.
“Our goal is to interview finalists at the NAIA Convention in April,” Davies said. “We believe that this position will attract outstanding candidates as a result of the work Dave did on behalf of the CCC.”
