The National Federation of State High School Associations will hold a press conference next week to discuss the national shortage of officials in high school sports.
Dana Pappas is leaving New Mexico for flatter – and decidedly greener – pastures.
The longtime and popular Commissioner of Officials for the New Mexico Activities Association is preparing for a move. Next month, she begins a new job: Director of Officiating Services for the National Federation of State High School Associations, or NFHS, based in Indianapolis.
Pappas, 45, is a Highland High and University of New Mexico graduate. She has been the NMAA’s officials czar since 2004. She will continue in that role through the end of July before heading to Indiana.
It is a new position being created by the NFHS.
