OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- The Amateur Softball Association (ASA), a volunteer driven, not-for-profit organization, is seeking applicants for the position of Commissioner for the Detroit ASA association.
The ASA Commissioner should be an individual who is interested in serving as the principal liaison between the local association and the ASA National Office. Those interested in the complete duties of an ASA Commissioner may review them on the ASA website at www.asasoftball.com under the About ASA section and ASA Code Article 305.
A panel will interview and make their recommendation of an interim commissioner to the ASA Board of Directors for confirmation. If a qualified candidate is not appointed by the next ASA Council Meeting, the Board of Directors could make a decision regarding whether or not the association is to be merged with another.
The ASA was founded in 1933 and has evolved into the strongest softball organization in the country. The growth and development of the association led the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to name the ASA as the National Governing Body of Softball, pursuant to the Amateur Sports Act of 1978.
