Meredith Potter '04, public affairs coordinator and executive director of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority and the New Jersey Hall of Fame, has been appointed to the board of the International Sports Heritage Association (ISHA).

The ISHA's membership includes 120 sports heritage organizations from five continents, "dedicated to helping member institutions better preserve history and educate future generations on the importance of sport as history."

Planning is under way for the New Jersey Hall of Fame's museum, intended to honor those with ties to the Garden State "who have made invaluable contributions to society and the world beyond." Among them: Albert Einstein, Harriet Tubman, Yogi Berra, Malcom Forbes and Bruce Springsteen.

Potter earned her St. Lawrence degree in religious studies, and was a member of the women's tennis team.
