The PIAA Board of Directors is made up of 32 diverse, elected representatives of all member schools and other constituencies, and represent each of the stakeholders present at today’s meeting in State College.  It is grassroots representational democracy that has been effective for more than 100 years.  Much of the information included in today’s presentations has been discussed by the Board, of which the overwhelming majority are public school employees.  The Board anticipates that issues pertaining to eligibility and competitive equity will be forwarded to the Board through the proper channels, at which point they will be addressed.  Open dialogue among all stakeholders will continue to be a strength of PIAA.
