A new chair and vice chair will begin service with the Division III Management Council at the conclusion of the 2008 Convention.

Del Malloy, director of athletics at Salve Regina University and a Council member since 2006, will succeed Val Cushman as chair, and Lynn Oberbillig, director of athletics at Smith College and a second-year member of the Council, will replace Malloy as vice chair.

Malloy is in his 11th year at Salve Regina and previously served as associate director of athletics and women's basketball coach for 12 years at Wheaton College (Massachusetts). He also served for 14 years on the physical education faculty at St. Mary Academy-Bay View in Newport, Rhode Island, which recently inducted Malloy into its athletics hall of fame in recognition of his tenure as athletics director and a coach in multiple sports.

Oberbillig became athletics director at Smith in 1993 after serving as head softball coach and an athletics administrator at Nicholls State University. She also teaches graduate courses in Smith's exercise and sport studies department.

Malloy and Oberbillig will assume their new positions at the Council's January 14 meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, following adjournment of the Convention.

Cushman, who recently became executive assistant to the president at Washington and Lee University, concludes her service as chair and as a Council member at the Convention.
