Four of the representatives will serve a two year term while the other four serve three year terms.

Piedmont Virginia Commissioner Andy Dooley and Maine Commissioner Bill Cary were elected to represent the Eastern Territory which includes Regions 1, 2, 3 and 9. Dooley was elected to a three year term while Cary will serve two years.

In the Western Territory, which includes Regions 13, 14 and 15, it was Northern California Commissioner John Miller and Idaho At-Large Player Representative Bill Parks who were chosen to serve on the Board. Miller will serve a three year term while Parks will serve two years.

Former ASA Presidents G. Pat Adkison of Alabama and Jack Aaron of Texas were elected from the Southern Territory, which includes Regions 4, 5, 6 and 7. Adkison was selected for a two year term while Aaron was chosen for a three year term.

The Northern Territory, which includes Regions 8, 10, 11 and 12, selected Kansas Commissioner Joe Sproul for a two year term and Midwest Regional Director Mick Renneisen for a three year term.

By a vote of their peers, USA Softball National Team members Stacey Nuveman (La Verne, Calif.) and Michael White (Eugene, Ore.) were elected as the athlete representatives on the Board of Directors prior to the meeting.
