Thoughts from our A-10 community?
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Bernadette V. McGlade, whose experience in collegiate athletics as a student-athlete, coach and administrator spans nearly thirty years, has been named the commissioner of the Atlantic 10 Conference. The fifth full-time commissioner in Conference history was introduced at a press conference at The Philadelphia DoubleTree Hotel today.
"Bernadette's deep experience with arguably the class-act athletic conference in the country makes us incredibly excited to be bringing her on board as commissioner of the Atlantic 10 Conference," says Father Michael Graham, Xavier University president and president of the Atlantic 10 Presidents' Council.
One of the most respected administrators in collegiate athletics, McGlade spent the past 11 years at the Atlantic Coast Conference, including the last nine as Associate Commissioner. Hired in 1997 as an Assistant Commissioner, McGlade stepped into the newly created position overseeing women's basketball. Her responsibilities included conference scheduling, the ACC Tournament, television oversight and selection, budget management and institutional liaison with the women's basketball coaches. In addition, McGlade directed the officiating program, including recruitment, training and development of ACC basketball officials. Additionally, McGlade developed and directed the South Atlantic Women's Basketball Officiating Alliance (SAWBO).
