Moniz-Kaho'ohanohano promoted

Marilyn Moniz-Kaho'ohano-hano has been promoted to associate athletic director at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa as part of the restructuring of the department's senior management.

Athletic director Herman Frazier said Moniz-Kaho'ohanohano, who has been an assistant AD since 1989, will continue as the school's senior women's administrator. She will supervise student services in addition to overseeing gender equity, and NCAA and conference compliance operations.

Moniz-Kaho'ohanohano's promotion and the planned addition of an associate AD for external affairs will give the school three associate ADs this fall.

Tom Sadler, the first administrative hire by Frazier, came to UH in January to replace Jim Donovan, who had been the sole associate AD.

Frazier said UH will fill the external affairs job — a marketing and promotions position — "shortly." UH is returning to in-house marketing after ending a three-year contract with Leigh Steinberg Enterprises last month.

Moniz-Kaho'ohanohano, a former UH volleyball player from 1972 to '75, won the Jack Bonham Award in 1976 as an outstanding senior scholar-athlete. She introduced the school's gender equity policy and has served on several NCAA committees.

Until her promotion, Moniz-Kaho'ohanohano was the only senior woman administrator in the Western Athletic Conference without an associate AD title.

The pay for an associate AD position is approximately $108,500. She has been receiving approximately $78,000.
