David Patterson receives IHSAA Sportsmanship Pin

The Terre Haute Convention & Visitors Bureau’s (CVB) Executive Director, David Patterson, was presented with a sportsmanship pin from the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA). Patterson, alongside his role as the Executive Director at the CVB, runs and maintains the operations at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Indiana.

In 2018, the IHSSA launched the #FaceofSportsmanship campaign aimed at promoting and recognizing acts of good sportsmanship in and around the sports industry. Notable leaders are recognized by the IHSSA for their acts of moral character and sportsmanship throughout their communities.

Patterson was recently presented with the sportsmanship pin by Assistant Commissioner Paul Neidig as a token of appreciation for his continuous support of the IHSSA and its mission. The LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course has hosted Indiana’s high school state cross country meets for many years. Patterson and his team have actively worked alongside the IHSSA to prepare the course for meets while ensuring that the runner and spectator experience is at the forefront.

“David is the perfect candidate for an IHSAA #FaceOfSportsmanship pin. He has worked tirelessly to provide a first-class venue for the student-athletes to showcase their athletic ability in the state of Indiana,” states Neidig. “His efforts are much appreciated.”
