Lindsay Reeves is in her 10th year with North Georgia College & State University and was hired as the Director of Athletics dur-ing the fall of 2010.

She spent three years as Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Women’s Administrator before being named Acting Athletic Director when Randy Dunn retired after 28 years with the university. After a nationwide search, Reeves was tabbed as the third Athletic Director at North Georgia on December 7, 2010.

Lindsay graduated from Ithaca College with a BS in Physical Education and received her Master’s from University of North Caro-lina at Chapel Hill in Exercise Physiology.

After completing her education, she worked as the Director of Testing at Sports Training Institute in N.Y., before taking over as Assistant Director of Health & Fitness at General Electric World Headquarters in CT. From 1990-1999 she was the Director of Employee Wellness and faculty member at UNC-Chapel Hill. Lindsay is married to Dave Reeves and they have a son Tim who is 23, and a daughter Kelley who is 21.

Now entering its 21st year of existence in 2010-11, the Peach Belt Conference has become one of the elite Division II confer-ences in the nation. Since its inception in 1990-91, the Peach Belt has developed a consistent history of excellence which con-tinues to this day with 28 national champi-onships and 25 national finalist

Starting with only two championships in 1991, in men’s and women’s basketball, the conference has expanded to 13 champi-onship sports with the addition of women’s golf in the fall of 2009.

The conference traces its roots back to No-vember of 1988 when 11 schools first met in Greenville, S.C. to form a Division II conference. Following a second meeting on Dec. 3, 1989, five of those 11 schools, plus two others, formed the Peach Belt and begin play in fall 1990.

The Peach Belt was less than a year old before capturing a national championship. The Columbus State golf team took the hon-or by winning the 1992 national crown, the first of three golf championships the Cou-gars own. One year later, the Lander men’s tennis team began their record-breaking run of eight straight national titles, the first PBC dynasty. Since then, USCA men’s golf has won three straight national titles from 2004-06 while AASU women’s tennis has captured four titles overall.

The 2008-09 season was among the con-ference’s most memorable. The Armstrong Atlantic State men’s and women’s tennis teams both won their respective national championships – for the second year in a row; a feat only done once before in college tennis. In addition, the Augusta State men’s basketball team became the first confer-ence program to make back-to-back trips to the NCAA Elite Eight, Armstrong Atlantic became the first PBC volleyball team ever to advance to the Elite Eight and the North Georgia softball team was ranked #1 in the nation and reached the World Series.The seven charter members of the confer-ence were Armstrong Atlantic State Uni-

versity, Columbus State University, Fran-cis Marion University, Georgia College & State University, Lander University, USC Aiken and USC Upstate. The name Peach Belt Athletic Conference was adopted in January of 1990 and modified to Peach Belt Conference in May of 2000.

Augusta State joined the conference in 1991 and UNC Pembroke became the ninth member on July 1, 1992. They were followed by Kennesaw State University on July 1, 1994, Clayton State University on July 1, 1995 and the University of North Florida on July 1, 1997. Kennesaw State and North Florida departed for the Division I ranks in 2005, USC Upstate did the same in 2007, and the conference welcomed in North Georgia College & State University in 2005 and Georgia Southwestern State University in 2006.

For 2009-10, the Peach Belt has grown once again with the addition of the Uni-versity of Montevallo and Flagler College, giving the PBC 13 members, the most the league has ever had. The addition of the two schools returns the PBC to the state of Florida and expands the league into Ala-bama for the first time.David Brunk was named the second PBC commissioner in May of 2007. Brunk re-placed Marvin Vanover, who was the first PBC commissioner from 1991 to 2007. Brunk is charged with continuing the strong growth of the conference as its sec-ond era begins.

The conference currently holds champion-ships in 13 sports, six for men and seven for women. They are men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis, baseball, soft-ball and men’s and women’s golf.
