INDIANAPOLIS - Texas Woman's University Director of Athletics Sandee Mott was selected by the Division II Presidents Council as one of two appointments to the Division II Management Council, the NCAA announced Wednesday. 

"What a tremendous honor to be selected to represent the Lone Star Conference through work on the Management Council," said Mott. "I look forward to collaborating with leaders from across the Division and the NCAA staff to support and enhance the experiences of all student-athletes. I am truly excited for the opportunity."

Mott was chosen as the Lone Star Conference's reference and is joined by Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference commissioner Erin Lind in yesterday's announcement. 

The appoint comes as part of the Division II Presidents Council's meeting, where Presidents advanced two proposals focusing on the mission and principles of the Division II infractions process and the investigative and hearing processes to the voting slate at the 2022 NCAA convention. 

Additionally, Minot State's Steven Shirley was elected Vice President of the Presidents Council effective July 1 and UT Permian Basin's Sandra Woodley was elected as the Region 4 representative on the Presidents Council. 

Adams State president Cheryl Lovell was elected as the Presidents Council's at-large representative. 

The Division II Management Council reports directly to the Presidents Council and is charged with recommending administrative policy and regulations that govern the division. The Management Council reviews and acts on recommendations from the Division II committee structure and from Division II representatives to committees with Association-wide functions. The Council also is responsible for appointing Division II representatives to those committees.

The Council is comprised of 28 members, including one administrator or representative from each of the Division II multisport voting conferences; one administrator or representative of Division II independent institutions (provided there are at least eight Division II independent institutions); two representatives from the Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee; and two "at-large" positions to help achieve diversity of representation.
