Megan Lenhart was elected to the AVCA Board of Directors in the fall of 2025 and began serving as NAIA Women’s Representative on January 1, 2026. She is currently in her first term. This board seat is charged with leading the NAIA Head Coaches Committee and serving all NAIA women’s volleyball member coaches. Megan’s goals for her term include:

• Create increased opportunities and exposure of NAIA volleyball coaches within the AVCA and at the AVCA Convention
• Continue to help student-athletes become aware of the officiating shortage and how they can be apart of the solution
• Continue to support the growth of NAIA men’s volleyball and NAIA beach volleyball and to give a voice to those coaches within those spaces
• Support the mental well-being of coaches and provide resources to help coaches endure the challenges of our profession
• Help our programs find tools and technology to stay relevant in our sport, while also being mindful of financial constraints at our level

If there are other issues you think the AVCA should be focusing on at the NAIA women’s volleyball level, please contact Megan or AVCA NAIA staff liaison Tara Swan.
