Seadore makes the grade

INDIANAPOLIS — DODDS-Europe athletic coordinator Karen Seadore has qualified as a Certified Athletic Administrator, according to Frank Kovaleski of the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators’ Association.

The NIAAA, a part of the National Federation of State High School Associations, grants the CAA designation to administrators who complete courses in athletic administration provided by the NIAAA, pass a written test, and whose educational background, administrative experience and professional contributions warrant the designation, Kovaleski said.
