Priscilla Ribic
2010 Brother Bennett Recipient
|
To the USAPL National Governing Body: Over the years, I had the opportunity to witness first-hand how
Priscilla's outstanding achievements and dedicated service have
made significant contributions to promote drug free powerlifting,
advance women's powerlifting and provide tremendous support to
the growth of USA Powerlifting. As an athlete, Priscilla has achieved unparalleled success on
the platform. Priscilla began competing in the sport in December
1999. Since that time, Priscilla has become of the most decorated
lifters of our time. To summarize (as of the time of this nomination)
Priscilla's success on the platform, combined with her being
drug tested over 30 times at every level, has made her of one
of the most recognizable figures in the sport while serving as
a role model for many women- young and old- (and many men as well)
and being a great ambassador and example of drug-free lifting.
Over the last decade, Priscilla has committed considerable time
and effort to promote awareness of and revenue growth to USA Powerlifting
by overseeing the development and implementation of the USAPL
e-store, supporting the expansion of the USAPL merchandising program,
producing content for online and printed newsletter communications
and assisting as webmaster for the USAPL national website. Most
recently, Priscilla has been largely responsible for developing
and coordinating the USA Powerlifting events at the Arnold Sports
Festival, a project that has brought unprecedented interest and
attention to our sport, and to USA Powerlifting. As an advocate and champion of USAPL members, Priscilla has served
as an athlete's representative and currently serves as a member
of the IPF Athletes Commission. On behalf of USA Powerlifting,
she has served as a referee, meet director, State Chair and sponsor.
To close, Priscilla has amassed a distinguished career of achievement
and service to USA Powerlifting that is unmatched. I respectfully request that the governing body recognize Priscilla's
years of dedicated service by bestowing upon her this year's Brother
Bennett Award, our organization's highest honor. Respectfully submitted, |
