Shelton Pop Warner Football & Cheerleading has elected its 2013 Executive Board.
New officers for 2013 include Mike Boyce — President, Amy Stanko — Vice President of Spirit, Jennifer Hunter — Treasurer, and Christina Solano — Secretary. Matt Civale returns as Vice President of Football, the position he held in 2012.
Monteleone continued, “The Association is in great hands and I look forward to working with the newly named executive board.”
After spending two years as President of the Association, Tim Monteleone decided not to run for a third term in 2013.
“I will remain an active member of the board of directors,” said Monteleone. “After nine wonderful years at Shelton Pop Warner, I knew we finally had the leadership in place to allow me to make this change.”
“Tim has done so much for this association over his long tenure,” said new President Mike Boyce. “His commitment to both Football and Cheerleading will leave a lasting impression on everyone down here.”
Boyce continued, “While Tim’s role will be reduced, I will continue to look to him and his experience through this transition.”
Last year Boyce was Vice President of Cheerleading.
“We just returned from Disney after two of our squads qualified for The Pop Warner National Cheerleading Championships,” he said. “Pop Warner does such an amazing job for the kids; I am thrilled to be a part of this league.”
Matt Civale returns as Vice President of football after a successful 2012 season.
“We are looking forward to another great year,” Civale said. “There will be some exciting announcements coming out shortly that will allow us to grow the program for years to come.”
Amy Stanko will fill the role of Vice President of Spirit after heading up fundraising and sponsorships as a member of the Board of Directors this past season.
“We have expanded to include dance in our spirit program for 2013,” said Stanko. “We have had an amazing response and look forward to bringing dance back to our already outstanding spirit program at S.P.W.”
Jennifer Hunter, head coach of the Mitey Mite Cheerleaders, will take over as Treasurer while Christina Solano, an active board member, will be the association’s new secretary in 2013. Erin Candler and Jody Bednarz, both longtime board members and coaches, filled these roles previously.
Directors and coaches for football and spirit will be named soon. If you are interested in becoming a coach or student demonstrator, please send an email to Vikingcheer@att.net for Dance or Cheerleading or jstanko5088@gmail.com for Football.
