Wow, where did that lazy summer go?

I expect everyone is back in the full swing of things about now or prepping to be that way soon.  I hope you all did have a relaxing summer and were able to get away for a bit. 

First, let me introduce myself, my name is Lauren Martini and I will be serving as your South Carolina state director for the next 2 years.  I am originally from St. Louis, MO (Go Cardinals) but have lived in suburbs of Chicago and Detroit, as well.  I received my Bachelors of Science in Sports Organization from Miami University of Ohio and my Masters of Science in Recreational Sports Administration from Indiana University.  I started officiating when I was 13 and surely never thought I would end up as a Intramural Sports Director, but here I am!

Second, let me thank all the people that attended our SCIRSA summer meeting in July and thank all of you that were not able to attend but contributed.  Although, I have only been in SC for 3 years, I can see the growth and feel the passion from all the professionals and students and I am very proud to be a part of it.

Thirdly, let me thank our new SCIRSA state student rep, Lauren Toperzer from Clemson University, for serving the state this year.   Please direct your students to the student information page for more details from her.

Finally, We do have some initiatives this fall…

1)      Become an official state association in the eyes of NIRSA

2)      Create a student scholarship fund

3)      Develop a one-day state work-shop

And I of course, will need each and every one of you to help out and pitch in to get all these done.

I will do my best to keep you informed and get you involved in all these processes.

I wish you a fantastic fall and please do not hesitate to contact me!
