                               RESOLUTION

 
 Recognizing Interscholastic Athletic Administrators' Day on December 
                               14, 2021.

Whereas, each December, the Senate recognizes the positive contributions of 
        interscholastic athletic administrators;
Whereas the position of school athletic administrator is recognized as a 
        profession, which, like other academic professions, benefits greatly 
        from continued education and certification;
Whereas school athletic programs develop young people physically, mentally, 
        socially, and emotionally by the life lessons learned through 
        participation and competition;
Whereas interscholastic athletic participation is an integral part of a 
        student's educational experience and enhances the learning and 
        maturation process;
Whereas athletic administrators are committed to developing and maintaining 
        comprehensive education-based athletic programs which seek the highest 
        development of all student athletes;
Whereas athletic administrators fulfill professional responsibilities with 
        integrity, commitment to equality, industriousness to long hours, and 
        fairness;
Whereas athletic administrators preserve, enhance, and promote the educational 
        values of athletics in our schools through professional growth in the 
        areas of education, leadership, and service;
Whereas athletic administrators embody high standards of ethics, sportsmanship, 
        and personal conduct and encourage coaching staffs, student athletes, 
        and community members to commit to these high standards as well; and
Whereas the athletic programs run by these administrators have impacts that 
        extend well beyond the playing field, athletic venues, and even the 
        school: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the annual recognition of Interscholastic 
        Athletic Administrators' Day on December 14, 2021;
            (2) commends athletic administrators for their commitment 
        and leadership provided to student athletes at the secondary 
        school level; and
            (3) commends the National Interscholastic Athletic 
        Administrators Association as the leading organization that 
        prepares those who lead secondary school athletics throughout 
        the country, providing continuous learning, compassion, and 
        preparation within the profession.
                                 <all>
