Mick Hoffman has been selected as the next executive director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

The WIAA announced his selection Tuesday.

Hoffman, currently an assistant superintendent for Vancouver Public Schools, will replace Mike Colbrese at the end of the school year. Colbrese has served as executive director for the past 25 years.

“The WIAA Executive Board is very impressed with Mick’s longtime dedication to education and education-based activities,” board President Pat McCarthy said in a press release. “The future of the WIAA is bright with Mick’s skill and leadership.”

Before taking over as an assistant superintendent, Hoffman served as the district athletic director for Vancouver Public Schools from 2007-15. He also represented WIAA District IV on the WIAA Executive Board from 2016-18 where he was a member of the Classification Committee and chaired the WIAA Recruiting Committee.
