Chaney takes new associate director job with FCSAA
Special to the Outlook
The Florida College System Activities Association has named Tallahassee Community College Director of Athletics Rob Chaney as its new Associate Director.
FCSAA Executive Director Kelly Warren announced the hire of Chaney on Thursday.
“With the addition of Rob Chaney to the FCSAA staff, we are expanding the Association staff structure to allow us to address the tremendous growth we’ve experienced over the past ten years, particularly in the athletics division,” said Warren. “Chaney’s experience in both athletics and communications will serve us well as we continue to expand and serve our students moving forward. I’m excited about the future of the FCSAA with Rob Chaney joining our team.”
Chaney has been at TCC since 1998, when he joined the athletics department as a volunteer. A year later, he was hired as a communications specialist, a position that included sports information duties for athletics, and served in that capacity until 2013. In January 2009, however, he began a dual-assignment as the College’s director of athletics and transitioned into an AD-only role four years later.
“Over the past 23 years, including the last 13 as athletics director, I’ve been very fortunate to work alongside tremendous coaches and support staff who have accomplished some amazing things while investing in the lives of hundreds of student-athletes,” said Chaney. “It has been a privilege to serve Tallahassee Community College, and I have an endless number of wonderful memories to carry forward.
“I would like to thank Kelly Warren and the FCSAA Presidents’ Assembly for supporting this newly-established position and for the opportunity to serve as associate director. The FCSAA has a rich history of success across all student activities, particularly intercollegiate athletics, and I’m excited to get to work on behalf of the membership.”
Chaney will serve as Athletics Commissioner for the state’s two-year colleges and represent Region 8 on the NJCAA’s Board of Regents. He will also provide additional support in other non-athletic-related student activities.
Chaney’s FCSAA assignment begins October 1.
