Bill Sindelar

During the past six years, I have worked closely with Bill Sindelar at many national and international Powerlifting championships. You will not find another referee in our organization as dedicated and committed to the successful direction of our national championships than Bill Sindelar. This was clearly demonstrated by Bill attending, at his own expense, nearly all of our national championships the past two years. His contributions let to the success of multiple national powerlifting championships. ALL of our national meet championship directors owe Bill a special debt of thanks for his outstanding work as a referee!
As I understand it, this honor is given to the referee whose efforts best characterizes what an official stands for in this organization: honesty, integrity, and superior performance. Bill Sindelar excels in [all] of these areas as an official. Bill is person of integrity and high moral standards, which makes him the outstanding referee that he is.
As the State Chairman of Nebraska, Bill Sindelar is well known for his loyalty to the membership, dedication, and hard work through the direction of the multiple championships that he puts on each year. In short, Bill is a tireless promoter of our cause - Drug Free Powerlifting!

In closing, Bill Sindelar has the full confidence and endorsement from not only me, but his fellow officials and the lifters for this award. I know of no one who better exemplifies the personal and professional qualities that we honor through this award. Without ignoring the fine qualities of all of the other candidates, I advocate Bill Sindelar because of his exceptional contributions as an official to USA Powerlifting. He has all of the qualities we honor in giving the award. He is clearly one our hardest working officials and deserves to be recognized as Referee of the Year.

Thank you!
