She succeeds Dick Rasmussen, who is retiring after serving as the Association’s only leader since its inception in 1987. WashU Chancellor and search committee co-chair Andrew Martin: “Sarah brings with her the experience needed to lead the UAA in an exciting direction. I look forward to working with her as she builds on our strong tradition of excellence in Division III athletics. I am grateful for the members of the search committee and Parker Search for their work in ensuring a successful hiring process of our commissioner.” Otey: "Thanks to Chancellor Martin, Dr. [WashU Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Anna] Gonzalez and the rest of the search committee for trusting me to serve as the next leader of the University Athletic Association. I look forward to partnering with all eight institutions to build upon their history of success and leverage their academic reputations and unmatched competitive excellence.” (link)
