Podcast: Bill Scott with WIAA's Doug Chickering discussing retirement decision

October 9, 2008 By WRN Contributor

Doug Chickering Doug Chickering has served as the executive director of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association ( WIAA ) for the last 23 years.  Chickering announced his retirement on Wednesday, effective the end of the 2008-09 school year. 

Chickering served as executive director since 1986.  He's only the fourth person to hold that position throughout the 113-year history of the Association.

Included in his accomplishments are the addition of private schools into the Association in 2000, the substantial expansion of State Tournament Series opportunities in all sports for girls and boys, the addition of nonpublic and ethnic minority representation on the Board of Control and Advisory Council, the hiring of the current executive staff, the placing of State Tournaments in the finest facilities throughout the state, the planning and construction of the current WIAA headquarters and the guidance in enhancing exposure of high school sports through various media platforms.

The WIAA's Board of Control expects to name Chickering's replacement prior to March 1, 2009.
