COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - Dave Gentile was
elected as the 18th USA Volleyball Board of
Directors Chair during the national federation’s
board meeting on 1 June 2021.
Gentile will replace Dr Cecile Reynaud who was
elected chair in 2019. Dr Reynaud’s term is set
to end on 30 June, whereby Mr Gentile will
assume the position of chair.
Mr Gentile, who previously served on the board
from 2005 to 2012, was elected to his current
four-year board term in August 2018 as the
Junior Assembly Representative. He could also be
re-elected for another term on the board, in
which case he would continue his four-year term
as chair.
David Gentile, said:
“I am honoured and privileged to serve as the
next USA Volleyball (USAV) chair of the Board of
Directors. This certainly adds to my commitment
to serve the sport of volleyball and to continue
my support of USAV.
“I have tremendously enjoyed being part of USAV
for the past 25 years. With my private sector as
well as my volleyball club ownership experience
through MAVS KC, I feel like I can help continue
to support the efforts of USAV at the Board
Chair level.
“This is an exciting time for USAV, going strong
into the Olympic and Paralympic Games as well as
junior national championships. As Chair elect, I
look forward to starting my transition with the
current Chair Cecile Reynaud and President and
CEO Jamie Davis.”
Gentile founded Mid-America Volleyball (MAVS) in
November 1993 and served as executive director
of the youth volleyball club through to
September 2012. He started the club with one
team and grew the programme to 28 teams with
year-round programming for youth development. |
