Abstract

The SDIAWA was formed in 1971 to coordinate athletic activities for women in colleges and universities in South Dakota. It was a subunit of the national Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), and belonged to Region VI of that organization. The SDAIAW dissolved on June 15, 1982. The collection contains correspondence, meeting minutes, reports, competition results, and governance documents for the South Dakota Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (SDAIAW).

Historical Note

The SDAIAW was established in 1971. According to the association’s guidelines, the purpose of the association was to:

  1. Organize and conduct intercollegiate sports for the college women of South Dakota.
  2. Serve as a liaison with national organizations, DGWS, and Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).
  3. Elevate the level of competition for skilled women athletes.
  4. Establish guidelines and standards for intercollegiate competition for women
  5. Publicize all phases of competitive sports.

Membership in the association was open to all higher education institutions in South Dakota that offered physical education and athletics to women. Membership between 1971 and 1981 included Augustana College, Black Hills State College, Dakota State College, Dakota Wesleyan University, Huron College, Mount Marty College, Northern State College, South Dakota State University, Sioux Falls College, South Dakota Technical College, University of South Dakota, and Yankton College.

The SDAIAW ceased operating on June 15, 1982.

The SDAIAW was a member of Region VI of the AIAW. In the early 1980s, the national AIAW was facing decreased funding and membership due to the NCAA’s inclusion of women’s athletics. The AIAW dissolved in 1983.
