Green Named to CWSA Board of Directors

SALT LAKE CITY – Charmelle Green is one of five new members appointed to the Board of Directors of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA), the organization announced this week. Green is in her fifth year as the University of Utah's Deputy Athletics Director, Chief Operating Officer and Senior Woman Administrator. A veteran of nearly 30 years in intercollegiate athletics administration and coaching, Green returned to her alma mater in 2021.

"Charmelle's experiences at Notre Dame, Penn State and now the University of Utah, her alma mater, will especially serve her well as an institutional representative and as a representative from the Big 12 Conference," said Patti Viverito, Chair of the CWSA Board of Directors.

The CWSA, presented by Honda, proudly celebrates its 50th anniversary season in 2025-26. Green joins Keri Becker (Director of Athletics at Grand Valley State University), Olga Harvey (Chief Operations Officer for the Women's Sports Foundation), Erin McDermott (John D. Nichols '53 Family Director of Athletics at Harvard University) and Noreen Morris (Commissioner of the Northeast Conference) as new members of the Board of Directors.

"I'm deeply honored to join the Board of Directors for the Collegiate Women Sports Awards," Green said. "It's a privilege to have the opportunity to serve alongside such inspiring leaders who champion excellence in women's athletics, and I look forward to supporting and celebrating student-athletes as they achieve greatness in the classroom, in competition, and in their communities."

Green leads all facets of the day-to-day operations of the Utah Athletics Department with Director of Athletics Mark Harlan. This includes direct oversight of the academics, compliance, facilities, student-athlete wellness, success and student belonging units, as well as the sport supervisory group. Green also serves as the department's liaison to the University's Dean of Students, Office of General Counsel, Faculty Athletics Representative and Campus Safety and Police.

"Charmelle Green's impact on Utah Athletics, our student-athletes and collegiate sports cannot be overstated," Harlan said. "As a U alumna who is enshrined in our Hall of Fame, she takes great pride in driving excellence for Utah Athletics, and being a champion for opportunity and access particularly for women in sports. She will be a tremendous asset for the CWSA as a member of the Board."

Founded in 1976, the CWSA has honored the nation's top NCAA women athletes for five decades, recognizing excellence in athletic performance, leadership, academic achievement, and community service.

"This new class of board members is especially diverse and distinguished in many ways," said Voelz. "The CWSA will benefit greatly from their wide-ranging academic backgrounds, their professional experiences across the industry, and their leadership within a variety of divisions, conferences, and organizations. While they bring unique perspectives, they also share a deep, authentic commitment to advancing the sport experience for women and a strong appreciation for the Collegiate Women Sports Awards as we celebrate our 50th year. We are honored and excited to welcome these five accomplished professionals to our already illustrious Board of Directors."
