美高梅博彩任命里德担任体育信息职位
美高梅博彩 Director of 体育运动 Herb Reinhard
announced recently that Shawn Reed has been named Sports
Information Director, replacing Steve Roberts who retired in
May.
Reed brings a great deal of experience to the position, where he
will oversee publication efforts for the Blazers 11 intercollegiate
sports. From 1999 to 2004, he worked in the Athletic Media
Relations Office at Georgia Southern University, as an assistant
director. Reed served as the primary contact for men's and women's
basketball, volleyball, women's soccer, golf and for three NCAA
Regional baseball teams. Reed was also the editor of Georgia
Southern's award-winning Soar Football Game Program and earned a
Master of Science in Sports Management from the university. In
August 2004, Reed assumed the title of Interim Director of the
Media Relations and served as the primary contact for the school's
nationally-ranked football program that advanced to the NCAA I-AA
postseason tournament.
"We are truly excited to have Shawn join the vs上 athletic staff,"
said Reinhard. "He has big shoes to fill in replacing Steve, who
retired as one of the deans of the sports information profession.
Shawn has a strong background in the SID field and has worked with
some nationally respected programs. We look forward to the new
ideas he will bring to our athletic department in general and to
the sports information office in particular."
Upon leaving Georgia Southern, Reed served as Public Relations
Manager for FitzBradshaw Racing's No. 14 Navy Dodge and driver
David Stremme in the NASCAR Busch Series. Reed's experience, which
began with a three-year stint as a student assistant at Wake Forest
University while pursuing his degree in communications and
political science, also includes spending a year as Media Relations
Intern with the Atlantic Coast Conference and a season as an intern
with media relations department of the NFL's Carolina
Panthers.
"I'm looking forward to joining the Valdosta State athletic
department as well as the vs上 and Valdosta communities," stated
Reed. "As witnessed by the football's national championship in 2004
and men's tennis national title this year, Valdosta has one of the
top athletic programs in the nation, which makes it one of the
prized jobs for a sports information professional. Steve has set a
high level of expectation for the sports information director, and
I look forward to the challenge of achieving that level in the
coming years."
里德将于7月1日正式上任。
