Fastpitch Community:
With the unexpected passing of our NAFA Executive Director, Clark Evans, while he slept, at the Las Vegas Road Trip on April 6th, The NAFA Executive Board and Umpire Committee have unanimously agreed to bring back former Executive Director, Benjie Hedgecock as the Interim Director.
NAFA’s key assistant Executive Director, Jesse Ortiz, will continue running the off-season operations as he has done the the last two years.
100% of the Executive Board and Umpire Committee will continue as well.
This includes World Series Tournament Director, Zak Hedgecock and Umpire in Chief, Rich Silva.
The long term plan is for Zak Hedgecock to take over as Executive Director at the appropriate time. Former long-time NAFA board members, Robert Hernandez and Pete Davis (Umpire Committee) have been added.
Our condolences go out to Clark Evans’ family as we all are still in shock, losing our popular leader at a young age.
We feel it is important to let the fastpitch community know that aside from losing Clark, everything will remain the same, including our staff and structure. For more information on NAFA, contact Benjie Hedgecock at 593-559-5398.
Information on Clark’s Celebration of Life will be posted once his wife, Charice, decides the details.
We will have a flipping coin of Clark that people can get at the World Series in Rockford, Ill. as well as the East Masters in Rockford and the West Masters in Bullhead City, AZ.
