The
Indoor Football League's (IFL) Board of Directors have unanimously
voted at the IFL's Annual League Meetings to promote Robert Loving from
Interim Commissioner to Commissioner of the Indoor Football League.
Loving becomes the second commissioner in the IFL's history.
Loving
joined the League Office in the IFL's inaugural 2009 season and in 2010
was appointed as Asst. Commissioner. He served in that capacity until
2012. Upon the resignation of former IFL Commissioner Tommy Benizio in
March 2012, Loving became the IFL's Interim Commissioner.
"It
is truly an honor to have been appointed the Indoor Football League's
Commissioner at our recent Annual League Meetings. Having been with the
IFL since its inaugural season in 2009, I have a strong kinship with the
League." stated Loving. "I feel there is a sense of unity among the
League's teams as has never existed before. I look forward to an
exciting and successful 2013 season"
The
Board of Directors unanimously voted in favor of Loving last Thursday
at the IFL's Annual League Meetings in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Robert
has been a hard-working employee of the league and this is a great
opportunity for him to help the League move in the right direction. We
are excited that he has accepted the position and are looking forward to
more great things in the future", said Chairman of the IFL's Executive
Committee Arney Silvestri.
Mike Layton, the Vice Chairman of the IFL's Executive Committee, also shared those sentiments.
"I
could not be more pleased about the promotion of Mr. Robert Loving from
Interim Commissioner to Commissioner of the IFL. Robert is honest,
trustworthy, hard-working and focused. One might call him a 'Diamond in
the Rough'. This is a brutal business, but Robert attacks the challenges
head-on with conviction."
Since
the conclusion of the League Meetings, the IFL has been working
feverishly on the 2013 schedule which is scheduled to be released in
early October.
