List down to three for Northwest A.D. job

November 9, 2010 By Bill Pollock

Northwest Missouri State University today announced three finalists who are vying to become the University’s next director of athletics.

The candidates will meet members of the University community during a series of town hall meetings. All meetings will be 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Center Room of The Station. The sessions are open to the public.

Northwest launched a search to fill the position after Dr. Robert Boerigter resigned Sept. 8 to become commissioner of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA).

The finalists and the meeting details are listed below.

Previously, he was executive director for the Independence Bowl Foundation; assistant athletics director and executive director for the Northwestern Athletics Association at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La., and director of development for Kansas Special Olympics.

Mark Fisher (Friday, Nov. 19)

Fisher is director of athletics, activities, physical education and drivers education for Springfield Public Schools, a district of 24,000 students and 50 schools in Springfield, Mo., and has served in that role since 2003. Previously, Fisher was athletic director, wellness instructor and coached multiple sports at Greenwood Lab School at Missouri State University. He also was an instructor and coach at Owensville and Stanberry high schools. Fisher earned an associate of arts degree from Iowa Western Community College, and bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education from Northwest Missouri State University.

Wren Baker (Tuesday, Nov. 23)

His prior experience includes serving as director of athletics and principal at Valliant Public Schools, assistant director of operations for men’s basketball at Oklahoma State University, and assistant men’s basketball coach at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Baker holds a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education from Southeastern Oklahoma State University and a master’s degree in education leadership studies from Oklahoma State University.
