HISTORY Women's intercollegiate athletics was first organized on a national basis in 1941, the year the first national collegiate championship was held in the sport of golf, organized by the Department of Physical Education for Women at The Ohio State University. That tournament was not held during World War II, but was resumed following the war and continued to be held as an annual event. In 1956, the need to establish a method for assuring the continuation of the golf championship brought about the formation of the Tripartite Committee through appointments made by the National Association for Physical Education of College Women, the National Section for Girls and Women's Sport. and the American Federation of College Women. The tripartite Committee urged the continuation of the national collegiate golf competition, and subsequently suggested the need for studying the problems of intercollegiate competition for college women in general. Upon the recommendation of the Tripartite Committee, the National Joint Commit- tee on Extramural Sports for College Women (NJCESCW) was formed to attempt to guide and administer women's intercollegiate athletic programs. The Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (CIAW) grew out of the NJCESCW in recognition of the need for expanding national championships and the desire to have governance of women's intercollegiate athletics under the auspices of one organization. the Division for Girls and Women's Sports (DGWS) operating under the American Association for Health. Physical Education, and Recreation. The purposes of the ClAW were to provide a framework and organization pattern for the conduct of intercollegiate athletic opportunities for women and to sponsor national championships for college women under the guidance of the DGWS. Formation of the AIAW was approved by the DGWS Council and the AAHPER Board of Directors in 1971, but the CIAW continued to operate until July 1, 1972, at which time the AIAW officially came into existence. The AIAW developed from the CIAW in recognition of the need for institutional membership and elected repre- sentation. From fewer than 300 member schools in its first year. the AIAW has grown to a total membership of over 1.000. making it the nation's largest governing body for intercollegiate athletics GOVERNANCE, Ultimate authority of the AIAW rests with the Delegate Assembly as the direct " voice of the member institutions in guiding the direction and policies.of the organiza- hon. All active member schools are entitled to one vote at the annual meeting of the Delegate Assembly. An Executive Board exercises all the powers of the AIAW subject to the policies )stablished by the membership in meetings of the Delegate Assembly. The Execu- tive Board is composed of the President, President-Elect, Past President, Ethics and Eligibility Committee Chairperson, Rules Standards Committee Chairperson, a Commissioner of National Championships from each division, a Vice President.from each division, the NAGWS President, a student representative, and one elected representative from each of nine geographic regions. The field work of the Association is carried out by various standing committees, special committees. presidential committeeS, task forces, and sports committees. A national office staff headed by the Executive Director, coordinates AlAW's organi- zational efforts.
