It’s a great day to be a Baylor Bear! It’s also a special time to reflect on God’s gift of salvation through the birth of Jesus – the true reason for the Christmas season. Let us rejoice and be thankful for it.

I am writing to provide you with a recap of the recent changes on the “B” Association’s board of directors. At the general membership meeting in November, the “B” membership approved the following slate of officers and directors for 2019. Four directors and one officer will rotate off the board at the end of this month, and the new directors will begin serving terms on January 1.

I hope you will join me in thanking 2018 president Pat Combs for his leadership over the past year. Pat’s term as president this year culminates into six years of loyal service to the “B” Association. He has served in multiple capacities that includes extensive experience on the executive committee. His knowledge and experience with the “B” Association have been incredible assets through the years, helping lead us through some of our biggest advancements. We are fortunate that Pat will continue his service on the executive committee as past president in 2019.

The Board of Directors for 2019:

Officers: President- Mr. Ken Buckley (football), President-Elect- Mr. Michael Johnson (football/track), Vice President- *Mr. Cody Carlson (football), Treasurer- Mr. Phil Duren (track), Past-President- Mr. Pat Combs (baseball)

Directors: *Mrs. Beth Casteel (volleyball), Mr. Jeff Cunningham (track), Mr. Wayne Dunlap (track), *Mr. Doug McNamee (manager), Mrs. Jennifer Washington (track), *Mr. Nick Florence (football), Mr. Randy Martin (manager), Mrs. Jennifer Martinsen (volleyball), Mr. Richard Naylor (trainer), Mr. Mario Price (football), Mr. Mike Sims (trainer), *Ms. Elisha Polk (volleyball), *Mr. Kyle Smith (trainer), and Mr. Jon Topolski (baseball)

*=New Officers/Directors

As we welcome our new board leaders, we also express our sincere gratitude to the officers and directors who will complete their terms at the end of this month. They are: Mr. Cody Carlson (football), Mrs. Kathi Childers (volleyball), Mr. Ted Gillum (football), Mr. Neil Luft (manager), and Mr. Dusty Sanderson (trainer). We are a much stronger letterwinners organization today because of these talented and dedicated leaders.

Note: Cody Carlson will complete his term as director on December 31, 2018, but will continue service to the association as vice president beginning January 1, 2019.

Finally, thank you all for your support to the Baylor “B” Association. Your involvement continues to make a difference in the lives of our current and future members. We look forward to working together with you on tremendous opportunities that await us in 2019.

Merry Christmas,

Walter Abercrombie
