CLEVELAND – Dr. Chris Reynolds continues to represent Bradley at a national level as the school's Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics was selected to the Division I-AAA Athletic Directors Association as the organization's Secretary.

"I am honored and excited to have been chosen to serve the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association in this manner," Reynolds said. "This leadership group is at the forefront of issues impacting Division I member institutions and I look forward to being involved with the Association at such a pivotal time for intercollegiate athletics."

Reynolds is joined on the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association (DI-AAA ADA) by President Mary Ellen Gillespie, director of athletics at Hartford, 1st Vice President Lynne Robinson, director of athletics at Mount St. Mary's, 2nd Vice President Scott Leykam, director of athletics at Portland, 3rd Vice President Chris King, director of athletics at Texas Rio Grande Valley and Treasurer Ken Kavanagh, director of athletics at Florida Gulf Coast.

In his fourth year leading the Bradley athletic department, Reynolds has overseen significant progress in multiple areas within the Department of Athletics, building positive momentum that has resulted in significant competitive achievements, record-breaking academic performance, development of comprehensive student-athlete welfare and service programs and the growth of revenue streams to the Department. Bradley teams have claimed six Missouri Valley Conference Championships under his watch, including a school-record three during the most recent 2017-18 academic season. In addition to his position with the Division I-AAA Athletic Directors Association, Reynolds today has begun a five-year term on the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee. He is just the second individual associated with the Missouri Valley Conference to serve on the prestigious NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee, joining longtime MVC Commissioner Doug Elgin (1998-2002).
