Abstract

The documents in this collection represent the dedicated grassroots movement that local girls and women's sports advocates developed in response to the sports equity component of the Title IX Statute of the Educational Amendments of 1972. The Kentucky Citizens for Sports Equity (KCSE), as the organization came to be known after an August, 1992 name change, helped to raise awareness for local Kentucky girls, coaches, officials, and administrators. The KCSE also attempted to organize and highlight girls sports participants and volunteers in order to address equity concerns. KCSE recognition events networked members and participants with other sports equity proponents, and, more specifically, they underscored the performance of Kentucky's girls sports participants, officials, advocates and volunteers. The KCSE quickly organized prominent local women into leadership roles, and their subsequent actions helped to advance and institutionalize sports equity in Kentucky. KCSE goals and efforts are reflected in the numerous banquets and events that recognized female participants and volunteers. The organization's regular events attempted to sync local Kentucky equity programs with other state and national sports equity movements. In particular, the KCSE collection captures the numerous conferences, awards banquets and grant programs that were promoted and offered in conjunction with a healthy working relationship with both the Kentucky Education Department (KED) and the Kentucky chapter of the Women's Sports Foundation (KWSF). The KCSE and KWSF promoted equity and opportunity in female sports in Kentucky through recognizing individual performance and leadership abilities.

Scope and Contents of the Materials

The following collection contains correspondence, documents, and publications from the Citizens for Sports Equity Project, a United States Department of Education funded program that initially functioned under the Women Educational Equity Act (WEEA). The collection also contains materials from the Kentucky Women's Sports Foundation (KWSF), a subsidiary of a nationally recognized foundation that sought "to improve the physical, mental and emotional well-being of all females" through instituting educational services that addressed women's athletics and other relevant social issues.

More than ten years after the organizing board signed off on the original articles of incorporation, Brigid DeVries, the acting KCSE President, explained the KCSE's goals best when she detailed how the organization was "designed to recruit, train, motivate, and promote women to fill leadership positions in sports and athletics." [2013-020-b.1-f.1] During the same year, Dr. Agnes Chrietzberg commented that "the purpose of the organization [was] to provide a network for [the] promotion of sports for girls and for [the] advancement of women in sports leadership." [2013-020-b.1-f.2]

Based on the evidence in the following collection, KCSE fulfilled DeVries' stated goals by sponsoring numerous awards luncheons and conferences that provided Kentucky women with an opportunity to network with like-minded individuals, as well as other equity organizations. In general, the collection reflects how the Title IX ruling resulted in grassroots efforts that continued well beyond 1972.

Collection Historical Note

The documents in this collection underscore the public maneuvers that girls and women's sports advocates took to overcome the male dominated fields of coaching and organizing women's sports programs in Kentucky. In addition to focusing attentions on stimulating local citizenry participation in Title IX compliance, Kentucky Citizens for Sports Equity (KCSE), with the help of the Kentucky Women's Sports Foundation (KWSF), also emphasized relevant programs and strategies that attempted to remove the rampant disparities between men's and women's sports programs at the high school and, to a lesser extent, collegiate levels. All the related materials capture the outstanding efforts that local Kentucky women put forth in their attempts to raise public and private awareness.

The Kentucky Sports Equity Project Collection underscores the methods that community members developed in response to the Title IX ruling. The collection also highlights local advocates' volunteer driven approach to resource allocation, such as funding opportunities and potential protocols for measuring Title IX compliance. KCSE organizers, such as Teresa Ann Isaac, Dr. Martha Mullins, and Brigid DeVries, maintained a steady focus on achieving sports equity in Kentucky. The materials in this collection also highlight the volunteer driven dedication that many women depended on when they began challenging the relatively weak public and political support that girls and women experienced in sports. The numerous conferences, luncheons, and awards ceremonies that are documented in the collection allows researchers to reconstruct a clear narrative for the unwavering efforts that Kentucky women put forth in pursuing equity in all fields of girls and women's sports.

In addition to the KCSE records that are housed in this collection there are also numerous folders that contain Kentucky Women's Sports Foundation materials. The KWSF worked closely with KCSE under many circumstances. The KWSF shared membership and sometimes held awards luncheons in conjunction with KCSE events, mainly due to the inclusive and grassroots nature of the two organizations. In respects to developing an accessible grant program for young female athletes, the KWSF served as the main financial resource for KCSE grant program connections, and both organizations worked together to promote common interests. The KWSF records that are housed in this collection compliment the KCSE materials in such a way that researchers may have trouble distinguishing between the two organizations. Perhaps the least represented in the collection, but nonetheless important, are the roles that Wendy Poore and Mary Marshall of the Kentucky Education Department played in organizing the appropriate funding opportunities that each organization promoted and utilized.

Of special local interest are the records addressing a Montgomery County sports equity investigation that took place in 1993-94, and the KWSF and KCSE materials that trace their involvement with the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council. The collection consists primarily of documents that relate to unique conferences, awards ceremonies, and luncheons. The organizations day to day functions are captured in the newsletters and minutes that detail how volunteer dependent and grant supported groups mobilized vigilance and action committees to improve potential outcomes for a growing Kentucky girls and women's sports culture.

*Special Note: There are many other organization records housed in the EKU Special Collections and Archives that relate to this collection. For instance, Drs. Mullins and Chrietzberg are both prominent in a variety of collection such as, but not limited to, the Kentucky High School Athletics Association (KHSAA) Records (1981-024), KWIC Records (1981-038), AIAW Region II Records (1983-010) and the EKU Women's Gymnastics Program Records (2002-038), and Ms. DeVries's public presence and longstanding career in prominent leadership roles is reflected in both the KCSE and Kentucky High School Athletics Association collections.

Biographical Note

The Kentucky Sports Equity Project developed into the Kentucky Citizens for Sports Equity (CSE), an organization that worked closely with the KHSAA and Women's Sports Foundation, as well as other organizations that addressed equity in athletics and other social issues.

Box 1: KCSE Main MaterialsAdd to your cart.
The following box contains folders that relate primarily to the Kentucky Sports Equity Project, and, the eventual formation of the Kentucky Citizens for Sports Equity (KCSE) organization.  Box one contains correspondence and documents that relate the organization's creation, first as a grant funded research project and then later as an officially recognized corporation.
Barcode: 31234014044760
Folder 1: Formative Materials and Bylaws, 1986-1998Add to your cart.
The items contained in this folder are all related to the formative years of the Kentucky Sports Equity Project, and its eventual incorporation in January, 1987. The original grant applications and Eastern Kentucky University approval forms, the group's articles of incorporation, as well as the KCSE bylaws and articles of amendment are found in this folder.  When investigating the internal changes of both the KCSE and the greater sports equity movement the bylaw revisions may prove a fruitful resource.  Also, the letter to members that is cited in the scope and content description for the collection may be found at the front of the folder.  All other materials are arranged chronologically.
Folder 2: Funding and Grant Proposals, 1986-1998Add to your cart.
The following folder contains relevant grant proposals that resulted in the funding that was required to get the KCSE project up and running.  There are also grant proposals from later dates that address the numerous funding opportunities the KCSE used to further their conference promotions and develop the appropriate resource networks that were necessary to promote and fulfill KCSE goals.  For instance, there are federal funding applications and grant proposals from a variety of years.  In particular, the KCSE was brought under the fold of the Women's Educational Equity Act Program (WEEA).  In order to underscore the processes the KCSE board took when developing their committee strategies, some correspondence remains with the original document sets as they were received. The KCSE depended heavily on federal support and numerous renewals of said support, something the materials in this folder confirms. All materials are arranged chronologically.
Folder 3: Meeting Reminders and Membership Dues MaterialsAdd to your cart.
This folder contains the internal organizational correspondence that thoughtfully reminded members of upcoming meetings and events.  Included are committee and board meeting reminders and correspondence between members and the executive board.  All materials are arranged chronologically.
Folder 4: Board Meeting Agendas, 1989-2001Add to your cart.
The documents in this folder contain the Board Meeting Agendas that accompanied the collection when it was received. The agendas were separated from the minutes to provide a clearer picture of which meetings had a set agenda prior to the proposed starting times.  To add an additional layer of content, there are duplicates that contain handwritten notes when appropriate.  All materials are arranged chronologically.
Folder 5: Minutes (KCSE), 4 Feb 1987 - 25 Mar 2000Add to your cart.

The Minutes (KCSE) folder contains all the available KCSE minutes. The materials in this folder are perhaps the most valuable resource in the collection since they track the actions that the executive board and relevant committees took when producing the major events and functions that the organization sponsored.

*NOTE: box one folder six in this collection contains the Action Planning Minute Reports from 1986-87.  It was decided that these minutes reveal the early goals and inspirations of the KCSE, and, consequently, they are foldered separately for easy access.

Folder 6: Action Planning (1986-87), 11 Nov 1986 - 30 Oct 1987Add to your cart.
The materials in this folder compliment the previous folder in this collection by providing a clear understanding of the challenges the KCSE attempted to overcome. The Action Planning Committee minutes that are housed in this folder highlight how the KCSE determined which issues to address, and, why they were critical for the KCSE's future prospects as a viable organization. There are also committee lists and other membership lists that provide an understanding of who was involved in steering the KCSE towards its stated goals. Since the materials reflect the KCSE's actions in the first few years of the organization's existence they were foldered separately for ease of access and to better underscore KCSE goals.
Folder 7: Steering Committee Correspondence, 27 Oct 1986 - 22 Feb 1989Add to your cart.
To gain a clearer understanding of the KCSE's goals and internal functions the materials in this folder should be considered and researched in conjunction with the two preceding folders in this collection. The materials were not sorted with regular committee correspondence, which can be found in the folder that follows, because, much like the previous folder in this collection, the Steering (or Action Planning) Committee is of great importance when attempting to understand KCSE goals and functions. Steering Committee correspondence is arranged chronologically.
Folder 8: Committee Correspondence, 29 Oct 1986 - 4 Apr 2000Add to your cart.
The correspondence in this folder relates to the equity advisory, membership, and awards committees.  The materials range from internal communications through external solicitations for input and/or advice on a variety of related topics.  The materials are arranged chronologically.
Folder 9: Organizational and Miscellaneous Correspondence, 16 Apr 1987 - 7 Apr 1998Add to your cart.
The materials in this folder contain information about a variety of topics that could not be logically categorized in the two previous folders of correspondence. Generally, the communications are from non-KCSE affiliates or vendors, or they consist of mailers, letters and solicitations from other equity organizations or universities. All materials are arranged chronologically.
Folder 10: Executive Board Correspondence, 3 Feb 1987 - 8 Mar 2002Add to your cart.
The correspondence that is in this folder relates to KCSE executive functions. A  majority of the items contain internal board communications, however, there are also multiple letters addressing multi-state equity issues and other developments. The Executive Board Correspondence corroborates the fact that many KCSE members and executives were in regular contact with other local and national movements that addressed Title IX and sports equity issues.
Folder 11: Reports to Membership, May 1990 - May 1999Add to your cart.
The materials that are in this folder consist of the KCSE Reports to Membership. The reports were developed by the KCSE Board in order to maintain an ongoing record of future actions, programs, and goals.  The Reports to Membership track the subsequent changes and developments that took place after the KCSE was well established. The documents in this folder provide additional content to the Minutes reports and correspondence from previous folders. To ensure the collection's accuracy, each report should be crosschecked with corresponding dates and topics in the KCSE Minutes.
Folder 12: Advisory, Committee and Executive Board Lists, 1987-90, 1993-96, 2001Add to your cart.
All the available lists of members and committees that were processed can be found in this folder.  However, it should be noted that other lists in the collection that could not be logically categorized remain with the document sets in which they were received.  For instance, the Reports to Membership often contained lists in their findings; these lists remain in their original context.
Folder 13: Membership Lists, no date, 1992-94, 1996-99, 2001Add to your cart.
The materials in this folder contain the extensive membership lists that the CSE maintained throughout its existence.  Although they are incomplete they do provide a clear picture of member information for the provided years.  All materials are arranged chronologically.
Folder 14: Internet MaterialsAdd to your cart.
The few items in this folder cover the limited internet presence the CSE maintained during the organization's latter years.
Box 2: KCSE Main Materials (cont.), and Conferences and LuncheonsAdd to your cart.
The folders that are found in this box contain both KCSE and KWSF materials. Of special interest are the KCSE "The Full Court Press" newsletters in folder one. The remaining folders in box two relate to the numerous awards luncheons and conferences that the KCSE sponsored and promoted (sometimes in conjunction with the KWSF).
Barcode: 31234014044778
Folder 1: "The Full Court Press", 1986-99Add to your cart.
"The Full Court Press" was the KCSE newsletter. Their newsletters' topics included organization news, national Title IX developments, and articles about leading equity proponents and girls sports participants.  The newsletters in this folder are most valuable when attempting to reconstruct the KCSE's approach to achieving equity in girls sports programs.
Folder 2: "The Full Court Press" Correspondence, 29 Oct 1987 - 4 May 1998Add to your cart.

The correspondence in this folder contains direct references to 'The Full Court Press" newsletters that are housed in box one, folder one of this collection. Generally, the correspondence underscores funding issues and solicitations for future assistance and involvement with the publication. It should be noted that Eastern Kentucky University picked up the tab for publishing the newsletters after the initial project grant cycle expired; see grant applications in box two folder two for more details.  All materials are arranged chronologically.

*NOTE: other references to the KCSE newsletters can be found in previous correspondence folders, however, those particular communications contained pertinent information about other topics, and, consequently, they were filed in the appropriate folders in box one.

Folder 3: Sports Equity Awards MaterialsAdd to your cart.
The materials in this folder reflect the atmosphere the KCSE sought to create for girls sports participants and enthusiasts in Kentucky.  Included in this folder are a variety of documents that highlight different aspects of the KCSE awards program.  There are nomination lists, awards nomination forms and correspondence that relates directly to the CSE awards committee and/or program.  It should be noted that this folder is understood best when viewed in conjunction with the KWSF awards program materials that are found in box three.
Folder 4: Outstanding Female Athlete Recognition Luncheon Programs and Invitations, 1991, 1993-2000Add to your cart.
The programs and invitations that are contained in this folder represent KCSE public imagery.  The available programs reflect the outstanding efforts of female athletes and their accomplishments.
Folder 5: KWSF Outstanding Female Athlete Recognition Luncheon Materials, 1998-99Add to your cart.
This folder contains correspondence and minor publications that relate to the 1998-99 KWSF awards luncheon. The 1998-99 awards year marks a divergence from the short lived combined awards ceremonies that the KWSF and KCSE sponsored between 1996-97.
Folder 6: KCSE Awards Luncheon Photographs, 1999, 2000Add to your cart.
The photographs that are contained in this folder document the 1999 and 2000 KCSE Awards Recipients.  The photos include both the nominated and the individual representative that presented each particular award.
Folder 7: Colorado Department of Education Equity Program MaterialsAdd to your cart.
The materials in this folder all relate to the Colorado Dept. of Education sports equity movement. The folder's contents include correspondence about the Colorado program, a packet of relevant Title IX related articles published in Colorado, and "The Relay" publications (the Colorado version of "The Full Court Press"). Researchers may find the Colorado materials valuable when trying to determine whether or not the KCSE adopted outside practices and policies. Generally, this set of documents confirms the KCSE's direct involvement with other state equity programs. During a personal interview, Teresa Ann Isaac shared that the Colorado equity strategies and personnel inspired the early KCSE approach to pursuing sports equity.
Folder 8: Kentucky Women's Sports Leadership Conferences, 1987-92Add to your cart.
As defined in a grant proposal in this folder, "the Kentucky Sports Leadership Project [was] organized" in, "1987, and [it] operated under the Citizens for Sport Equity organization," during the years that followed. The grant proposal also detailed how the "CSE proposes to assist local communities around the state in organizing Women's Sports Foundation Committees" in the hopes of promoting women into advanced leadership roles in girls sports programs. The materials in this folder reflect the efforts of both the KCSE and KWSF organizers. The documents in this folder include a statewide contact list of women's sports leadership networks, and programs from the 1988-90 conferences. It also includes conference organizer correspondence and memos that highlight relevant operational procedures. Organizational materials for the multifaceted 1991 Sports Leadership Workshop, and the 1991 grant proposal for the 1992 KCSE Leadership Conference are also included. When possible, handwritten notes accompany the documents.
Folder 9: Parents, Daughters and Sports Project Materials, 11 Jun 1990 - 13 Dec 1991Add to your cart.
The materials in this folder cover "Parents, Daughters, and Sports Project" (PDSP) activities.  The project culminated with a workshop that was held on 28 Sep 1990, as a part of the KCSE Leadership Conference that is represented in the previous folder in this collection.  The PDSP, as outlined in a memo to the KCSE board, prepared "special programs for PTA groups" that were then disseminated in order to "promote sports for girls in a most effective way."  The PDSP sought to fulfill high school parents' "need[s] and want[s] for information about their daughter's participation in sports."  The PDSP underscores how the KCSE and KWSF organized conferences and workshops within larger conferences in the hopes of initiating female participation in girls sports leadership positions.  Of particular interest in this folder is the "Parents, Daughters, and Sports Project Leaders Handbook" and the actual 1990 PDSP grant proposal, which underscores a major KCSE emphasis on raising girls sports program awareness and, simultaneously, increasing parental participation.
Folder 10: Montgomery County, KY Equity Case Study, 1993-94Add to your cart.
The materials housed in this folder all relate to an apparent equity issue that was raised within the Montgomery County Athletics program.  As outlined in a handwritten note that accompanied the document set upon donation, "the complaint alleged that the district [was] failing to provide equal opportunity for females with respect to accommodating the interests and abilities of female athletes, equipment and supplies, and travel and per deim allowances."  The documents include a survey of Montgomery school athletics programs, a set of correspondence regarding the eventual decision in the case, and, relevant news clippings. When considering the outcome of the case it appears that the investigation records are incomplete and lack conclusive results.
Folder 11: Sports for Life Career Day, 21 Apr 1995Add to your cart.
The "Sports for Life- CSE Career Day" was held on 21 Apr 1995, and featured 13 professional speakers who exemplified KCSE goals. The materials in this folder include a list of the featured speakers, a detailed recommendation and evaluation questionnaire that was distributed to participants, and a conference evaluation report that addressed the invited speakers' effectiveness. The documents in this folder represent a relative culmination of KCSE efforts and strategies.
Folder 12: National Girls and Women in Sports Day, 1987-92, 1994-98, 2000Add to your cart.
The materials in this folder all relate to the nationally recognized Girls and Women in Sports Day, which celebrated girls and women's sports with activities like "a celebrity volleyball game...with [U.S.] Senators, Representatives and top women athletes and a luncheon [that brought] together women's sports activists in Los Angeles." The documents are predominantly from the WSF and they cover multiple Girls and Women in Sports Days. The materials consist of memos, correspondence, handouts, pamphlets, posters (broadsides), and press releases.
Folder 13: "Moving Toward 2000: How to Access Power Seminar", 5-7 Mar 1990Add to your cart.
The materials in box two folder thirteen are similar to box two folder eight's content since they both address events that looked into the available strategies that women could employ to gain leadership roles and learn strategies that accessed available power structures within girls sports programs. The "How to Access Power Seminar" was held in Pheonix, AZ, and was led by Pauline Lyttle, a nationally renowned speaker who was concerned with developing an efficient model for women to access the power structures and incentives that men had enjoyed for centuries.  The materials in this document set are limited, however, the content does personify the combined goals of the KWSF and KCSE.  Further research into Lyttle's model for accessing power may shed light on the future strategies that KWSF and KCSE members utilized in their efforts.
Folder 14: KWSF and KCSE FormsAdd to your cart.
The materials in folder fourteen consist of blank forms and evaluation materials from both the KCSE and KWSF. These materials primarily address awards nominations and grant applications for female athletes.
Folder 15: AnnouncementsAdd to your cart.
The materials in this folder consist of press releases and organizational announcements for the KWSF, KCSE, and other related state, national and federal equity organizations.
Folder 16: Women's Sports Leadership Conferences (MI and ND), 1991, 1993-94, 1996-2000Add to your cart.
The conference materials that are found in this folder are associated with the Michigan and North Dakota Sports Leadership Conferences that were held in each respective state. The documents include programs and schedules of events for multiple years in the Michigan materials, and only 1996 for the North Dakota content. The KCSE and the KWSF membership and executives used these materials to examine how other states developed effective equity strategies that promoted women into sports leadership positions.
Box 3: KWSF Main MaterialsAdd to your cart.
Box three contains KWSF newsletters and correspondence, grant program materials and a folder that captures the working relationship between KWSF organizers and the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council. The Kentucky High School Athletics Association (KHSAA) materials that are included in this box underscore the close relationships that Kentucky sports equity organizations maintained with other relevant groups.
Barcode: 31234014044653
Folder 1: KWSF Minutes (Events Subcommittee/Community Awards Program), 1993-99Add to your cart.
The minutes reports in folder one highlight the internal activities of the Lexington, Kentucky based WSF chapter.  The KWSF worked closely with the KCSE and acted alongside their grassroots efforts in such a way that they provided the community with a dual approach from the bottom up and middle out.
Folder 2: "Headway" WSF Newsletters, 1986, 1989 - 1991, 1998Add to your cart.
The "Headway" was the official WSF national newsletter. Each issue covers women's athletics issues and exemplifies WSF strategies for improving awareness and spurring a public equity dialogue between its members and the communities they represented. Although the series is not complete there is an adequate sample that will provide valuable insight when trying to understand the WSF's national strategies and imagery.
Folder 3: KWSF Correspondence, Aug 1992 - Jan 2000Add to your cart.
The correspondence in this folder includes internal and external communications.  The topics range from basic memos or reminders to critical awards committee communications and awards program discourse.  The documents in this folder include friendly internal communications to formal public invitations to outside community leaders. Some of the materials in this folder retain the order in which the document packets were received.  It was determined that doing so would provide authenticity to the collection's content. All the remaining materials are arranged in chronological order.
Folder 4: KWSF Luncheon, Sponsors, and Awards Committee ListsAdd to your cart.
The items in this folder include project checklists, itemized committee responsibility sheets, awards nomination criteria and checklists, and numerous membership and participant lists.  All the materials relate to the awards programs that the KWSF either sponsored or participated in at the state or national levels. The documents in this folder provide a distinct cross section of the persons that participated in KWSF activities.
Folder 5: KWSF Awards Nomination Guidelines, 1994-96, 1998-99Add to your cart.
All items in this folder relate to the nomination process for the KWSF awards programs. The documents cover a number of years and include categorized nomination criteria, nomination fact sheets, and correspondence that relates to the nomination procedures. A few awards that are outlined with nomination sheets include, but are not limited to, the 110% Award, Sports Organization Awards, the Coach of the Year Award, and the Parent or Guardian Who Does the Most for Girls and Women in Sports Award. All of the awards revolved around promoting girls and women's sports. Each nomination was designed to build confidence and include recognition of professional and personal achievements, a mutual goal held by the KWSF and KCSE.
Folder 6: KWSF Grant Program Materials, 1992-96, 1999-2000Add to your cart.
All the documents that are in this folder address the grant programs that the KWSF sponsored. The documents include relevant correspondence, grant application forms and criteria, as well as any other pertinent materials that are associated with the extensive KWSF grant offerings. The materials in this folder highlight how, despite sharing common goals, the KWSF provided outstanding incentives for the KCSE to work closely with and participate in WSF sponsored grant programs and events.
Folder 7: Community Action Program (CAP) Financial Materials, 1994-97, 1999Add to your cart.
The majority of the items in this folder consist of receipts and financial reports and statements that relate to the Community Awards Program that the KWSF sponsored as a part of its organization's commitment to promoting sports equity and awareness.  Generally, these financial records should be of special interest to economic or social historians who are looking into the CAP's role in the community.
Folder 8: Project Gold MaterialsAdd to your cart.
Project Gold attempted to increase female and minority participation in Olympic governance.  The brief document set in this folder contains an introductory letter and application for the program.
Folder 9: KWSF Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council, 1992, 1993-94, 1996, 1999Add to your cart.
The materials in this folder all relate to the working relationship that the KWSF and KCSE executives maintained with the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council (LFUCC), which helped with local funding programs that assisted in promoting sports equity in the community. The close working relationship the KWSF and KCSE had with the LFUCC allowed for a clear example to be set for the rest of the state. For a number of years, Teresa Ann Isaac, the acting Vice Mayor of Lexington, represented both the KCSE and KWSF interests, and her participation on all levels, from grassroots to governmental, highlights the interrelated approach that women's sport advocates took when addressing equity in Kentucky girls sports culture. The materials are predominantly correspondence.
Folder 10: KHSAA MaterialsAdd to your cart.

The KCSE and the KHSAA worked closely under the auspices of the awards programs the KCSE developed alongside the KWSF. Brigid DeVries was a prominent member in both the KCSE, as president, and, the KHSAA, first as the Assistant Commissioner and later as the acting Commissioner. Based on preliminary research into both the Kentucky Sports Equity Project collection and available internet resources, DeVries position in the the upper ranks of the KHSAA allowed her a distinct opportunity to provide valuable expertise that resulted in a better integrated KCSE program. The KHSAA documents in this folder consist primarily of correspondence, which is arranged chronologically. All correspondence was arranged together to highlight the working relationship that the KHSAA maintained with the KCSE. The organizations shared membership and met regularly at the KHSAA offices.

*NOTE: See KHSAA Records in the EKU Special Collections and Archives for additional KHSAA content.

Folder 11: Kemper, Hauber, Wright, Isaac v. KHSAA, 24 Apr 1986Add to your cart.
The Franklin Circuit Court legal suit that initiated the CSE formation can be found in folder 11.  The materials were part of a collection of documents that Barbara Isaac retained for her records.  Since she donated the materials at a different time than the rest of the collection, the Barbara Isaac materials are contained in the remaining folders in box 3 so the original arrangement was preserved.
Folder 12: Barbara Isaac Clippings and PublicationsAdd to your cart.
The clippings and publications that are found in folder 12 were donated by Barbara Isaac at a different time than the rest of the KCSE collection. Consequently, the original arrangement was retained and the materials were filed separately to designate the Barbara Isaac donation.
Folder 13: Barbara Isaac CorrespondenceAdd to your cart.
The correspondence in folder 13 was part of the Barbara Isaac donation that occurred after the original KCSE donation.  The correspondence was filed separately to highlight the materials that KCSE members regularly received during its early to latter years.
Box 4: Publications and Miscellaneous MaterialsAdd to your cart.
Barcode: 31234014044646
Folder 1: WSF Publications, no date, 1985-92Add to your cart.
The items in this folder are all publications that were developed and/or sponsored by the national WSF between 1985 and 1992.  They consist primarily of pamphlets or bound publications that the WSF developed for distribution at conferences or in nationwide mailings or distributions.
Folder 2: WSF Publications, 1993-97Add to your cart.
The items in this folder are all publications that were developed and/or sponsored by the national WSF between 1993-97.  They consist primarily of pamphlets or bound publications that the WSF developed for distribution at conferences or in nationwide mailings or distributions.
Folder 3: WSF Conference Publications, 1986-87, 1989, 1991, 1994-96, 1999-2000Add to your cart.
The items in this folder are all publications that were developed and/or sponsored by the WSF in anticipation of being distributed at conferences.  Much like box four folders one and two in this collection they consist primarily of pamphlets or bound publications and programs. However, they were separated because they can be categorized as distinct conference publications, rather than generic mass produced pamphlet materials.
Folder 4: KCSE Publications, 1986, 1987, 2000-2001Add to your cart.
The items in this folder are all publications that were developed and/or sponsored by the KCSE between 1986 and 2001.  They consist primarily of pamphlets and bound publications that KCSE developed for distribution at conferences.  There are limited KCSE publications which leads one to believe that the organization depended heavily on outside publications and pamphlets for information exchanges between organizers and members.
Folder 5: Miscellaneous Publications, no date, 1984, 1987, 1989-91, 1994-2001Add to your cart.
The items in this folder are all publications that were developed by outside organizations between the years of 1984 and 2001.  They consist primarily of pamphlets or bound publications that particular state, private or federal agencies or organizations created in response to sports equity changes. The items include, but are not limited to, NCAA reports, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Pupil Nondiscrimination Guidelines for Athletics, the Colorado Dept. of Education's "A Working Model for the Equity Professional", or "The Inside Track", an Oregon Women's Sport's Leadership newsletter.  All the materials highlight national trends in sports equity and, presumably, the KCSE and KWSF organizers' use of outside resources when developing their programs.
Folder 6: Miscellaneous Articles, Clippings, and PapersAdd to your cart.
All the items that are in this folder were a part of the numerous d-ring binders that housed the KCSE records upon donation.  Items include newspaper clipping that were unrelated to any particular document set but valuable to understanding what developments KCSE or KWSF organizers kept tabs on, relevant articles that members submitted in reports or via correspondence, position papers, and numerous other documents of no significant value to the collection, but of greater value to the overall content that the collection represents.
Folder 7: Miscellaneous Meetings and ConferencesAdd to your cart.
All of the documents in this folder are unrelated to the KCSE or KWSF organizations, however, they do pertain to girls and women's sports and athletics.  For instance, although the Michigan High School Athletics Association materials are not related directly with either the KCSE or KWSF, they do shed light on what similar equity organizations were doing in their respective communities.
Folder 8: Miscellaneous Biographies, Lists and ResumesAdd to your cart.
The items in this folder include resumes, bios, and other identity information. The materials provide a clear snapshot of the career paths that equity advocates took while pursuing their goals.

Folder 1: Miscellaneous Surveys and ReportsAdd to your cart.
The items in this folder all relate to the KCSE and KWSF data use. The surveys and reports provided the appropriate data for organizers and executives to make program decisions, and they all personify the efforts of girls sports advocates.  Researchers may find the reports and surveys of particular interest when looking into organizational decision making process and program content development.
Folder 2: KCSE Financial CorrespondenceAdd to your cart.
The materials in this folder primarily relate to the KCSE's financial correspondence. Even though there is other correspondence and financial records throughout the collection, the materials in this folder are distinct and unrelated to additional content, and are therefore designated as a clearly articulated financial record correspondence. This folder should be researched in conjunction with the remaining folders in the collection.
Folder 3: KCSE Financial Reimbursement MaterialsAdd to your cart.
All the items in this folder are related to travel expense reimbursements.
Folder 4: KCSE Budgets, Accounts of Expenses, and ReceiptsAdd to your cart.
All the other related financial records for the KCSE are found in folders four through eight. The budget reports and accounts of expenses in this folder are of particular interest since they document the economic history of the organization. The records in this folder may also contribute the best means for evaluating the effectiveness of KCSE programs and procedures. In particular, the budget reports allow for a clear financial understanding of what resources went into promoting sports equity at leadership conferences and other relevant events. The materials in this folder are understood best when investigated with the remaining folders in box five.
