The first meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Volga Region University of Sports was held today.
Recall that the composition of the Board of Trustees was approved at a meeting of the Academic Council of the University two months ago. It included seven people - leaders of industries, one way or another represented at the University
The first meeting was attended by the director of the GBU "Republican Sports School of the Olympic Reserve in bench and bullet shooting" Sergey Demin; Vice-President of the Volleyball Federation of the Republic of Tatarstan Oleg Bryzgalov, Director of the State University "Center for Sports Training of the Republic of Tatarstan" Mikhail Smolkin, President of the Association of Restaurateurs and Hoteliers of the Republic of Tatarstan Zufar Gayazov, President of the Association of Hotels of Kazan and the Republic of Tatarstan Gulnara Safina and Chairman of the regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society in the Republic of Tatarstan Dmitry Shiller. Volga Region University was represented by Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs and Digital Transformation Adelia Pavlova and Vice-Rector for Administrative Work and Social Development Natalia Grechannikova.
The first meeting of the members of the Board of Trustees of the university was held in a warm and constructive atmosphere. Adelia Pavlova presented the participants with up-to-date information about the university, including the latest and upcoming structural changes and new educational and scientific directions. The Trustees expressed a keen interest in participating in the affairs of the university, and during the exchange of views demonstrated a deep understanding of what goals the University faces, and what problems it will face on the way to achieving them.
In the final part of the meeting, the participants unanimously elected Oleg Bryzgalov to the post of chairman of the council. Dmitry Shiller became his deputy, and Sergey Demin became the secretary of the University's Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees also approved the Development Program of the University for the next 10 years.
After the meeting, we asked some of its participants to share their impressions:
- For me, the election is a big advance, - said Oleg Bryzgalov. - I hope that by sharing our experience and knowledge, we will all be able to help the best sports university in Russia to be closer to real sports. Our university is gorgeous! But I am sure we have something to offer in the field of sports schools, the implementation of mass sports projects, the creation of training methods for coaches. The council consists of professionals with diverse management experience, and we will all share our competencies with managers and teachers on an equal footing!
- The composition of the council is very interesting, - Dmitry Shiller believes. - People with different experiences and opinions gathered. I am glad that no one is shy to express them. The result may be an interesting product. For example, I approach everything from an applied point of view. I see in an athlete not just an athlete, but a person who embodies the slogan "in a healthy body - a healthy mind", capable of learning and plowing, in which we can invest any knowledge. This should be used to identify his interests and promote further…
- We held the first meeting of the Board of Trustees, - Sergey Demin summed up the meeting. - The name itself says that each of us knows and knows something in his field. And that we were invited for a reason. Personally, I am a city because I joined the council. Our task is not to promote our own direction to everyone, but having accumulated all our experience and knowledge, to direct them to help the university management. Try to bring new ideas for the benefit of the development of the University. This is an honorable, important and difficult task. The first step has been taken: today we all got acquainted, told about ourselves, elected governing bodies. I hope we can help.
- I am very glad that I joined the council, - says Zufar Gayazov. - Everything we talked about today is very interesting to me. I would like to contribute to the work of the Council. The people gathered here are all with great professional, pedagogical and sports experience. I am sure that everyone will be useful and will be able to benefit. I also have a lot of thoughts and ideas. I am a candidate of economic Sciences, I have pedagogical experience. And although my professional activity is connected with the sphere of service and tourism, sports are close to me. In the past, I was a candidate for Master of Sports... and, like everyone here, I am proud of our sports University!
