INSERT LEETER GIVEN TO CHARLES
 Welcome and Thank You for Attending Our 60th Annual Convention

Greetings and salutations! It is a distinct pleasure to be coming to the NCAAHPERD Convention in November 2007 representing the
American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance as its current President, from North Carolina and a former
NCAAHPERD president as well. I know the excitement around our convention. It is truly the best. Having missed my first convention
last year in 22 years, I, too, am excited about being at this year’s convention. Come one, come all and “Take time to celebrate life
together!”.
John Bennett, President
AAHPERD

Convention time is here!! For many of us this is a time to network with colleagues and friends, make new connections; gather new
ideas, and share knowledge with others. Hello, I’m Cam Kerst-Davis your Southern District President. I live in Tennessee and teach
elementary physical education. I’m looking forward to being a part of the North Carolina state convention. It is has the reputation of
being a professionally stimulating convention with strong leaders, and great sessions. I plan to learn from you as well as bring
greetings from Southern District and present a session.
North Carolina is one of 13 states that make up Southern District. Southern District is one of six districts that is part of the American
Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD). When you join AAHPERD you automatically become
part of Southern District. Southern District is one of the largest of the six districts. State memberships, such as North Carolina, are
separate from the Alliance. If you are not a member of both North Carolina AAHPERD and the Alliance, I’d like to encourage you to
think about joining both organizations. Then you can double the fun, double the networking, and double your information. Enjoy your
convention.
Cam Kerst Davis, President
Southern District AAHPERD

I am very pleased to welcome you to our 60th Annual NCAAHPERD Convention! Once again, our shared interests and our shared
future bring us together for professional growth and networking. This year’s convention promises to be a unique and exciting one. It
brings to a close a long run of conventions here in Greensboro and ushers in a time of change and opportunity. The tourist information
packet in our convention bags will no doubt kindle conversations about the 2008 convention in Winston-Salem, the Benton
Convention Center, the pedestrian friendly area, the Fourth Street Restaurant Row, and the nearby Downtown Arts District. Thus, it
seems that this year, change, fresh perspectives, and new ideas abound and surround us. It is my hope that this conference opens up
new horizons for you and that attendance will instill in all of us a sense of unity, a sense of purpose, and indeed, a commitment to
excellence!
NCAAHPERD Convention attendees have come to expect outstanding presentations and superior programming. This year’s
convention will certainly meet or exceed those expectations! Artie Kamiya, the Alliance President-elect, along with the Association
President-elects, have created a program that is exciting and challenging. While there is undoubtedly much to learn here, they have
factored in some free time, some social interaction, and some entertainment for you, because they know that there is a time and place
for everything, especially enjoyment.
Please make a special effort to attend the General Session and Business Meeting on Thursday at 10:35 a.m. in Guilford B. Not only
will you hear plans for NCAAHPERD’s future, but also, you may win $100 in cash or one of the many BIG door prizes donated by
our convention exhibitors.
In closing, I would like to thank to the Alliance Board members for their dedication and commitment to an excellent future for
NCAAHPERD. I want to recognize and thank our Alliance staff, Ron Morrow, Greg Moore, Judy Martino, and Sue Tillery for their
commitment to excellence in serving the Alliance and its membership. Finally, to all of you who work behind the scenes, packing the
truck, filling the bags, working the registration desk, delivering audio visuals, setting up for socials, managing the exhibits, and
monitoring the election booth, you have my sincere thanks and appreciation! You have truly answered the challenge to “Commit to
Excellence!”
Donna Woolard
NCAAHPERD President

REGISTRATION MANAGER
LINDA HARRILL RUDISILL & KEN RUDISILL
We can’t thank Linda enough for over twenty years of tireless service to
NCAAHPERD in so many ways, but especially as our Registration
Manager. She has been the recipient of many professional awards
including: NCAAHPERD Honor Award, NC Health Educator of the
Year, SDAAHPERD Health Educator of the Year, and the AAHE
Presidential citation. The North Carolina Association for the
Advancement of Health Education established the Linda Harrill
Rudisill Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2004 NCAAHPERD
Convention. This award was developed in honor of Linda, who was the
first recipient, and who has contributed over forty-one years of service
and dedication to health education. Her enthusiasm, expertise, and firm
belief that health education improves lives are evident in all her actions. Her every faithful “honeybun” Ken pitches in
wherever he is needed and as long as he is needed. Without this valueable team, we would all have to work twice as
hard. For those who have not met them, make it a point to go see them and thank them for taking care of us all!

EXHIBITS MANAGER FREDIA GOOCH

T his will be Fredia’s eighth year as our exhibits manager. She works hard throughout the year
contacting vendors, setting up contracts, verifying space and preparing our exhibitors for our
annual convention. At the convention you will see her tirelessly running back and forth seeking
to make everyone’s experience a great one! We added spaces this years after selling out last
year, and still the exhibit space is completely sold out! From 34 vendors to 57 vendors, and next
year with more space, we will be even bigger! Go by and congratulate Fredia on her most
successful event!

Staff: Greg Moore, Sue Tillery, Judy Martino

Our staff has grown! As we increase membership and succure grants, we needed more staff. Greg Moore is in his fourth
year, Sue Tillery begins her third year, and new and renew staff member Judy Martino joins us as Grant Program
Specialist. Judy was our first administrative assistant in 2002-2003. Greg energetically pursues each of our past
exhibitors and searched out many new vendors to set a record for Exhibitors this year. Congratulate Greg and the rest of
the staff for all their behind the scenes work getting ready for the third largest convention in the USA! Make sure you
see Greg, Sue and Judy at the Registration Desk!!

Convention Manager
Cathy Roberts, UNC Greensboro
Cathy is in her fifteenth year as our Convention Manager. It is her job to secure all AV
equipment needed free of charge, deliver it to the hotel, seek volunteers from her own staff to run
the equipment from room to room, non-stop for three days. And she is a volunteer! If we had to
rent this equipment it would cost in the 10’s of thousands of dollars. We can’t thank her and
Interim Dean Celia Hooper enough for the great job they do. Her staff this year includes Service
Award recipients: Jennifer Aguilar. Please thank them as they fly by on their way to the next
room.

Thank You to Very Special People

motivate students to take personal control of their health and to
give them the necessary tools and resources to make health
enhancing decisions. One colleague said the following about
Wendy, “In all my years of teaching, I have never seen anyone
who so completely embodies the idea of healthy living, nor have
I seen anyone so excited about health education.” One of Ms.
Clark’s students said, “As a seventh grade student here at
P.C.M.S., I can definitely say Health Class has truly changed my
perspective on almost everything I do.” Students, colleagues,
and administrators all convey that Wendy is a phenomenal
teacher who demonstrates creativity, genuine concern for her
students, and passion for teaching. She is actively involved in
health education at the local and state level and consistently
seeks ways to improve her instruction and the learning
experiences she creates for her students. Wendy is often
described as an “intentionally inviting and dynamic” teacher
who strives to ensure that she diversifies instruction so that all
students can experience a high level of success in her classroom.
This level of dedication to her students is evident in her work on
a daily basis. NCAAHE is proud to name Wendy Clark as the
Middle School Health Teacher of the Year.

the lead health teacher at Harding
University High School in
Charlotte and as an adjunct
instructor at Johnson C. Smith
University. She works in many
ways to improve the health and
lifestyles of children and youth.
Ms. Devins utilizes innovative and
cooperative learning strategies in her health classroom in order
to teach health knowledge and skills with the ultimate goal of
helping her students achieve health literacy. Continuous
evaluation and effective assessment of students’ knowledge and
health skills are what Ms. Devins considers to be one of the most
important aspects of teaching health education. Her
accomplishments in the classroom and community were evident
in her first year of teaching. Ms Devins was recognized as the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Schools’ Most Outstanding First
Year High School Teacher of the Year in 2004. She is a role
model for her students as a lifelong learner. She is currently

University Health Educator of the Year - Dr. Karen Butler
Dr. Butler is an Associate Professor of Health
Education in the Health and Human
Performance and Education Departments at
Johnson C. Smith University. Dr. Butler
received an M.A. degree in School Health
and a Ph.D. in Curriculum Instruction from
Kent State University. In 2003 her alma
mater honored her with the Distinguished
- 25 -
Alumnae Award. Dr. Butler worked in school health education
for eight years in Ohio prior to joining the faculty at Johnson C.
Smith University in 2003 and has since taught numerous school
health courses and been actively involved in campus,
community, state, and international health programs. Her
research interests, which have led to multiple publications,
include: sexual risk taking behaviors, HIV education in teacher
education, integration of service learning and health education,
tobacco prevention efforts, and cultural diversity in pre-service
teacher education programs. It is because of her support,
commitment, and advocacy for school health that NCAAHE is
honoring Dr. Karen Butler as the 2007 University Health
Educator of the Year.
Distinguished Friend of Health Education - Ken Rudisill
The 2007 NCAAHE Distinguished
Friend of Health Education Award is
being given to an unassuming gentleman
who has supported health education
through service for more than forty
years. Mr. Ken Rudisill was
nominated and selected for this award
because of his commitment to helping
others deliver health education
messages, trainings, and resources at the local, state, and
national levels. Anyone who has attended an AAHPERD or
NCAAHPERD convention has probably witnessed and benefited
from his hard work. The criteria for this award states that one
must have received widespread recognition among health
education professionals across the state. More than one health
educator nominated Mr. Rudisill for this award, not because of
formal recognition for his work, it was quite the opposite. It was
the recognition of his generosity and the time devoted to health
education that for many years has gone not unappreciated, yet
not formally recognized. Mr. Rudisill is not a health educator by
profession (although he is closely related to a health educator
and is a role model for health himself), which makes the
contributions of his time and efforts even more appreciated. The
number of miles he has traveled, boxes he has carried, and
health-related items he has graciously prepared and handled in
his lifetime would be too great to estimate accurately. He has
been patiently setting up and breaking down materials needed
for health education trainings, conferences, and meetings for
more than forty years. It is these works behind the scenes
which people value and appreciate. He does this work not for
acknowledgement and praise, rather to help others and
contribute to the dissemination of positive health messages.
Linda Harrill Rudisill Lifetime Achievement Award - Dr.
Robert Blackburn
This award was established in
honor of Linda Harrill Rudisill’s
more than forty years of service
to North Carolina public schools
and health education. The award
recipient must be a master
teacher, an advocate, and an
innovator in the field of health
education. Dr. Blackburn has
certainly demonstrated passion,
advocacy, and service in the field
of health education. Dr. Blackburn began his teaching career in
1956, which now spans over 4 decades with retirement from
Gardner Webb University in 1996. He worked with teachers and
administrators all across the state of North Carolina while
serving as the Executive Director for the North Carolina
Alliance for Athletics, Health, Physical Education, Recreation,
and Dance from 1983-2000. He served as President for the
Association for the Advancement of Health Education from
1992-1994 and currently serves as the President for the
Foundation for the Advancement of Health Education. The
Linda Harrill Rudisill Lifetime Achievement Award is one of
many honors he has received for professional service, including:
Honor Awards from AAHPERD, SDAAHPERD,
NCAAHPERD, two AAHE Professional Service Awards and
two AAHE Presidential Awards, two Bronze Service Medallions
from the American Heart Association –NC, and the American
Heart Association-NC Volunteer Award – 25 years of service for
Jump/Hoops in 2001. Dr. Blackburn is truly an example of
someone who has dedicated his life to service as he is currently
the President of the Association of North Carolina Board of
Health, a member of the NC Institute of Public Health
Assessment Committee, Vice Chair of the NC Local Health
Department Accreditation Board, a Health Accreditation Team
Member, and a member of the Public Health Task Force for the
NC Department of Health and Human Services. He also
