Cal Pac Names Don Ott New Commissioner
San Rafael, Calif. – The California Pacific Conference announces the hiring of Don Ott as the conference’s new commissioner. In this position, Ott will market the conference and help to raise regional and national awareness of the conference and its member schools.

Ott brings a wealth of expertise to his new post, with over 20 years of intercollegiate athletics experience including 16 years as the Associate Commissioner of the West Coast Conference. With the WCC, he directed media relations, oversaw compliance services, and managed championships. His additional service as Sports Information Director at Oral Roberts University and as a public relations assistant for the Pac-10 Conference refines his background in the competitive athletics arena. He is also a pastor at Castro Valley First Baptist Church.

"Don is a great addition to the Cal Pac,” said Cal Pac Vice-President Debby DeAngelis. “His vast knowledge of intercollegiate athletics will help our conference to the next level.”

Founded in 1996, the California Pacific Conference is a 10-member conference sanctioned by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The Cal Pac is representative of higher education in Northern California with members from the California State University campuses as well as religious and liberal arts colleges. The Cal Pac sponsors four women's sports (soccer, volleyball, basketball, and cross country) and four men's sports (soccer, basketball, cross country, and golf).
