Jim Momsen
Volleyball is a great sport. Obviously, I’m a very passionate supporter and promoter of the game and enjoy working with all of the wonderful people involved – players, coaches, referees, and Region Staff. I thoroughly enjoy facilitating the scorekeeping and rules clinics every season for the club players and coaches, as well as training, observing, and developing the officials that I work with. As a BRVA Member who is not attached to any club, I tend to analyze proposals and issues and ask questions to decide, “What is the best thing for the members of the Badger Region, as well as the constituents that I represent in
the SE Area?” My background and expertise in Organizational Development, Communications, and Corporate Training will be beneficial in representing local board issues and concerns as well as assisting with development of grassroots training materials. I want to give as much as I can back to the game that meant so much to my father, to give “kids of all ages” (players, parents, fans, coaches, and officials) a positive environment in which to participate, and have them be lifelong fans of the game. I have been involved in volleyball as a recreational league player (in the 80s-90s), “volleyball dad” (in the 00s), an official (since 2003), an Advisory (since 2005) and Voting (since 2008) member of the Badger Region Board and a member of the local PAVO boards – NIBOWS & Wisconsin Board of Officials (since 2004). I am a USA Volleyball Robert L. Lindsay Meritorious Service Award winner, the current Badger Region Referee Chair and have my National officials rating.
