The United States Sports Academy has begun a search for a new president following an announcement made to the Academy’s Board of Trustees at the annual meeting that current President and CEO Dr. T.J. Rosandich plans to retire after nearly a half century of service to the institution.
Rosandich has worked for the Academy since 1976, including service as its President and CEO since 2015. He will stay on board as President until his successor is hired and installed. The Academy’s Board of Trustees has formed a search committee Chaired by Board Chairman Robert Campbell to undertake a nationwide search for the next president.
“The contributions to the Academy by Dr. Rosandich over more than 45 years of service are significant,” said Robert Campbell. “These are evidenced on a personal level by his having earned two Academy degrees and also professionally as he brought to the table the experience of having worked in almost every position in the Academy both here and abroad. The Board recognized his contributions with 1998 honors as the Alumnus-of-the-Year and with a Distinguished Service Award in 2015.
“We are pleased that Dr. Rosandich will stay at the helm until our search for a successor has been completed and the individual has been installed as the next CEO. In that vein, I would like to extend an invitation to all the Academy’s far-flung family, fellow Board members, faculty, students, alumni, and honorees to nominate individuals to be considered for this role.”
Persons interested in applying for the position should send inquiries to presidentsearch@ussa.edu
The Academy has always had a Rosandich at the helm…..and although I appreciate that retirement does eventually come, I am so saddened that T.J. Is departing. It underscores my sorrow that His father Tom is gone, as well as my husband Bob, who was at Tom and Sally’s side from the beginning, and how well I remember how the Academy was born. The many visits Tom and Sally made to us (sometimes with the kids) when Bob and I lived in Singapore, Jakarta and Saudi Arabia are still vividly remembered, cherished memories. I send all the Rosandich clan my grateful thanks for your presence in my life, as well as that of my kids Jamie and Scott, over the years. You will always be a special part of my life. T,J., best of luck in whatever you do next. Pass the baton with pride in a job well done.
With love and thanks,
