I hope to work hand in hand to promote the success of our students and programs on and off the field."
Boldvich will begin to serve the conference immediately in her new capacity.
"I'd like to thank the members of the search committee along with the league Presidents, Athletic Directors and Coaches for the opportunity and I can't wait to get started."
