Speaker for 2007 Hall of Fame Dinner??
GPUSBCA (well, actually I did it...) has asked Diandra Asbaty to guest speak at next year's banquet. I am going to attach her picture and resume' for your review... she is VERY qualified, has appeared on the Today Show and is National Spokesperson (w. Chris Barnes) for USBC Youth.
Barring any conflicts in schedulling she has agreed to speak. However, her Team USA has a couple of tournaments planned for February, and I am not sure yet if that will be a problem.
Diandra Asbaty, Chicago, is one of five people elected by fellow athletes to be a board member of the United States Bowling Congress Board of Directors. She has been involved with the sport of bowling for nearly 20 years.
Besides being an accomplished bowler at the national and international levels, Asbaty also has established herself as a leader on the national level, serving on the USA Bowling International Relations and USA Bowling Coaching committees. A USA Bowling Coaching Silver level coach, she became a coach for the American Zone Coaching Program in 2003.
The six-time Team USA member was the 1999 U.S. Amateur Champion. The former Diandra Hyman also was a Junior Team USA 2001 and 2002 member.
Asbaty won the 2004 World Ranking Masters in Moscow. She earned gold, bronze and two silver medals in the 2003 Federation Internationale des Quilleurs World Championships and a bronze medal in the 2003 FIQ World Tenpin Team Cup.
Asbaty earned four gold medals and one bronze in the 2002 Tournament of the Americas. She finished fourth in the 2002 British Open. She earned four gold medals and one silver medal in the 2001 Tournament of the Americas.
A member of the 1999 and 2001 intercollegiate national champions at the University of Nebraska, Asbaty was the 2002 Nebraska Student-Athlete of the Year. She was a 2000 and 2001 first-team Collegiate All-American. In addition, Asbaty was the 2000, 2001 and 2002 Mid-America Bowling Writers Bowler of the Year, 2000 National Bowling Coaches’ Association Bowler of the Year and 2000 Bowlers Journal Amateur Bowler of the Year.
Her high game is 300 and her high series is 824.
Asbaty is a Brunswick Amateur staff representative and ambassador, as well as a Turbo 2-N-1 Grips amateur staff international representative. Her husband John is a former University of Nebraska bowler. In her spare time she does public speaking and coaching including helping the Nebraska men’s team to a third-place 2003 Intercollegiate Bowling Championships finish.
