About GPAC Commissioner Corey Westra…

Corey Westra, from Sioux City, Iowa, was named the second commissioner of the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) in April of 2003. He is a 1997 graduate of GPAC member school Dordt College in Sioux Center where he holds a B.A. in Communication, with an emphasis in Radio/Television.

Westra has helped lead the GPAC onto the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) scene with active roles in various NAIA committees. He is currently the Chair of the NAIA National Administrative Council (NAC) and serves on the NAIA National Coordinating Committee (NCC). He is the past chair of the NAIA Council of Conferences and Independents (CACI) and has been an officer on the board of the NAIA Sports Information Directors Association (SIDA).

Under his guidance the GPAC has expanded out to its current membership of 13 institutions and is the second largest NAIA conference in the country. He has led the charge to increase awareness of the league through the development of a comprehensive website, increased press releases, and a daily radio program titled "The GPAC Report" and a weekly fall radio program during the football season titled "The GPAC Football Saturday Report". He has also facilitated the development of Players of the Week for all GPAC sports. The GPAC has won 16 NAIA National Championships and in 2008-09 had 480 NAIA Scholar-Athletes.

Westra also serves as the Tournament Director for the NAIA Women's Volleyball National Championship and NAIA Women's Division II Basketball Championship in Sioux City. In 2008 he was named the recipient of the Cheryl K. Brown Meritorius Service Award for his efforts at the NAIA National Women's Division II Basketball Championship. He also is the President of the Sioux City Sports Authority.

Prior to serving as Commissioner he served the GPAC as Sports Information Director in 2002-03 and was the Sports Information Director at Dordt College from 1997-2001. He also served as Sports Director at KDCR Radio in Sioux Center during that same time period.

He and his wife Anne live in Sioux City, Iowa, and are the proud parents of three children (Aiden, 6, Meredith, 4, and newborn Mallory). They are active members in their church and community.
