Honoree:
Each year, we recognize an individual who has demonstrated outstanding Moral and Ethical Leadership. This year's honoree and guest speaker will be Liz Darger, Senior Associate Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator at BYU.
It's been a big year for BYU athletics. They ended the Fall 2021 season with a number of accolades: runner-up finishes in women's cross country and women's soccer and top-10 finishes in men's cross country and women's volleyball. A few months earlier, the Big 12 Conference announced that BYU would be joining the conference, starting in the 2023-24 athletic season.
In addition to her instrumental role in supporting BYU's athletic achievements, Darger has received national attention for her participation in the NCAA Common Ground Leadership Team, which aims to establish inclusive and respectful athletics environments for participants of all sexual orientations, gender identities and religious beliefs.
