Greenhills AD named Certified Master Athletic Administrator

Greenhills Athletic Director Meg Seng joined an elite national group of athletic administrators this week when the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association named her a Certified Master Athletic Administrator.

The distinction means Seng has demonstrated “exemplary knowledge, contributions, and ongoing professional development in the field of interscholastic athletic administration,” according to NIAAA.

“I am proud of those who take the initiative to grow in their field and constantly strive to build effective and efficient programs,” said Sheri Stice, NIAAA’s director of certification.

Seng has been working on attaining the certification for the last several years, she said. In addition to education and experience, NIAAA leadership courses and professional contributions were also considered. The final piece was Seng’s practical project, a Leadership Academy she created for Michigan athletic directors which has been held annually in Mt. Pleasant since 2011. The academy is intended for athletic directors with up to five years of experience and aims to help administrators lead their programs in an increasingly complex environment.

“I am excited to be recognized by the NIAAA and honored to work with dedicated professionals in educational athletics,” Seng said. “I’m glad to have had the opportunity to share my experience and help shape the careers of new athletic administrators from across the state of Michigan.”

The NIAAA is dedicated to promoting the professional growth of high school athletic administrators. The group consists of state athletic administrator associations in all 50 states and has more than 8,000 members nationwide.
