Dear Friends and Colleagues:
On behalf of the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of the Virginia Association for Health,
Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, I am pleased that you have made the commitment to take part in a
terrific opportunity for professional growth, networking, and sharing time with colleagues.
The Future of VAHPERD Is In Your Hands is this year’s convention theme. Now, more than ever, we
need to work together to ensure the future health and well-being of our students, and that starts with
QUALITY HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS. Our First Lady, Michelle Obama, has initiated the
national program, Let’s Move, to increase opportunities and solutions for physical activity and healthy eating.
VAHPERD has been actively involved with advocacy programs and professionals on the state and
federal levels to lobby for physical education as a “core” subject and to provide quality physical education
programs to reduce childhood obesity. This generation of children could be the first to predecease their
parents. Quality physical education could be their best health insurance.
Educators need help from PEP grants and the corporate world. VAHPERD is very fortunate to have
so many partners that want to see teachers succeed. Please attend the President’s Social on Friday,
November 12, to hear some of our outstanding advocates and visit their sessions and the exhibits to learn
more about advocacy and quality PE programs and opportunities. VAHPERD is fortunate to have John
Bennett, former AAHPERD president, as the keynote speaker for our First General Session on Friday at 12:00
noon, and Artie Kamiya, President of “Great Activities” and PE advocate, as the keynote speaker for our
Second General Session at 4:00 pm on Saturday. Other outstanding national and state presenters you will not
want to miss: Bill Sells, SGMA; Tom Byrd, “Fit4Kids”; John Booty, NFL and SGMA; Robert Pangrazi, Arizona
State University and Gopher; Curt Hinson, PlayFit Education, Inc.; Fran Bishop, MECKids; Alison Spencer,
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield; Lauren Holtz, Radio Disney; Stephanie Smith, Safe Routes to School; Chad
Triolet; Stephanie Smith, SRTS; Kristin Brittle, VAFHK; Eric Carver, Walk4Life; Andy Tupy, Gopher; Grant
Sheffer, Socci; and many more outstanding VAHPERD HPE teachers who are dedicated to making Virginia
health and PE programs the best! We will recognize our outstanding professionals, students and colleagues
at our General Sessions. Please show your support and enthusiasm for their accomplishments. Thanks!
Special thanks to our convention manager, Judy Johnson, and our past president, David Sallee, for all
of their hard work and dedication to present a dynamic convention featuring programs, meetings, awards,
socials and exhibits. Other VAHPERD members who have had major roles in putting together this event are
our Executive Director Henry Castelvecchi, Exhibits Manager Bob Davis, division and section officers,
committee chairs, city/county supervisors and our teachers and college students! We hope this convention
will renew your dedication and enthusiasm to continue your valuable work.
TEACHERS can do what others only dream of -- we can make a difference in people’s lives. I
encourage you to be part of our convention. Take the opportunity to share what you know and to learn from
others. Enjoy all the opportunities! Return to work with renewed enthusiasm, because you are The Future of
VAHPERD and our children. Thank you!
Respectfully yours,
Vicki Miller

WELCOME! Virginia Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance
Convention
It is indeed a pleasure for me to extend to you a most cordial welcome on behalf of the City of
Virginia Beach. You have made a good choice in selecting Virginia Beach as the site of your
Convention and I am excited that you will get to experience our City during the beautiful Fall
season.
As one of the safest cities of its size in America, Virginia Beach offers an abundance of cultural
and recreational opportunities and immediate access to quality oceanfront and Town Center
establishments. The Contemporary Art Center of Virginia has a marvelous collection of art of
our time and offers exhibitions and outdoor art shows.
We also have excellent parks and recreational facilities. We are especially proud of the Virginia
Aquarium and Marine Science Center, which combines hands-on exhibits with over 100,000
gallons of aquariums. And don’t forget our miles and miles of beautiful beaches and scenic
waterways.
Our modern city also has a rich historical past. In Virginia Beach, you can sightsee at locations
that date back to our nation’s birth. All of this, together, makes this a truly great place in which
to hold convention.
We are delighted that you have selected our community, and I encourage you to experience one
of the finest cities in the nation during your visit.
Sincerely,
William D. Sessoms, Jr.
Mayor

Presenter:
Bill Sells, Vice President of Government Relations
The Sporting Goods Manufacturing Association
Thomas Jefferson
After 25 years in politics and election campaigns, Bill left Capitol Hill to run the
government relations operation for the Computer Dealers and Lessors Association. In
2005, he joined the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) and was promoted
to vice president of government relations in 2008. Bill has four priorities at SGMA:
increase demand for member products, reduce the cost of getting products to market,
ensure reasonable regulation of sport and fitness products, and preserve brand equity.
Since Bill arrived at SGMA, it has doubled federal funds dedicated to the SGMA-founded
Carol M. White Physical Education Program to more than $600 million. Bill initiated the
Personal Health Investment Today Act (PHIT) to provide families with a financial
incentive to live more active lifestyles through tax breaks to reduce physical activity costs.
Bill Sells
A PHIT bill was introduced in March 2006, six months after the concept was initially
Vice President
discussed with Congress. Physical education teachers are active in SGMA’s annual day on
SGMA
Capitol Hill, National Health-Through-Fitness Day, to secure funding for PEP and PHIT
support. He has also been active in securing federal funding for park and recreation infrastructure development and
maintenance via the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
On the state side, Bill has been active in the SGMA-led coalition to preserve the right of youth baseball players to use
their bat of choice. His primary role has been to advise on state government strategies and identify local lobbyists to
assist the group with state legislators.
Bill is the father of three active boys and coaches youth baseball and football. He plays team sports and lives an active
life that includes softball, football, skiing, skating, biking, golf and swimming. He is a 1983 graduate of the Maxwell

Stephanie Smith is a State Network Manager for the Safe Routes to School State Network Project. Prior to her
position as State Network Manager, Stephanie served as the organizer for Virginia’s Safe Routes to School Network.
She has been a strong supporter of Safe Routes to School in Virginia since Congress first established the national
program and has been instrumental in broadening support for the program at the state level.
In addition to her direct role with SRTS, she worked with BikeWalk Virginia for nearly six years as a public relations
coordinator and education director. She managed a number of different grant-funded programs and coordinated the
state’s annual bike and pedestrian conference for several years.
Prior to entering the world of bicycle and pedestrian advocacy, the majority of Stephanie’s professional experience
centered on advocating for scientific research and higher education, with a particular emphasis on coordinating
efforts at the grassroots level. In Arizona, she was the director of the grassroots advocacy network for Arizona State
University. She also was the public affairs manager for the American Society for Microbiology, one of the largest life
sciences societies in America, and legislative assistant to a consulting company that worked directly for the national
system of Land-Grant Universities.
Stephanie earned her bachelor’s degree in managerial economics from U.C. Davis and has taken graduate courses in
Public Policy at Arizona State University and the College of William & Mary. She is a certified instructor through the
League of American Bicyclists. Stephanie lives in Williamsburg with her husband, daughter, dog, cats, and urban
chickens.

EMPATHY TRAINING
Empathy training is designed to introduce individuals who work with special
populations, such as the elderly and disabled, to the skills necessary to
improve teaching practices. For example, it is most helpful to plan activities

wheelchair. This training session consists of stations that give participants
experience with multiple disabilities, followed by group discussion.
