"In her role, Whiteside will serve as a member of the athletics department’s executive team and be the sport administrator for various Appalachian State sports. She will also develop and oversee a number of student-athlete initiatives, work directly with the department’s senior staff on women’s sports initiatives, cost of attendance and financial aid, develop enhanced strategies at Kidd Brewer Stadium, work as part of a team to assess facility needs and participate in key fundraising activities. She will also work closely with Gillin on all budget-related items and key department hiring decisions.
She comes to Appalachian State from the University of Missouri, where she served as director of external engagement since October 2014 with a primary focus on overseeing and coordinating all premium seating at Mizzou’s athletics facilities. She also assisted with the development of community outreach programs and created new customer service initiatives to enhance gameday experiences during her time at Missouri.
Whiteside worked directly with Gillin, who previously served as Missouri’s deputy athletics director, from her arrival at Mizzou last October until Gillin’s departure to become Appalachian State’s A.D. in April."
Seems like a great addition at first glance. Perfect background for two of our main proprieties: engaging donors and facility development.
