Rich Haldi

Rich Haldi is being inducted for his contributions to the athletic program not as an EvCC athlete, but for his contributions as an advocate and administrator in the athletics department.  Rich learned the value of athletics at an early age.  He was a multi-sport athlete at John R. Rogers High School in Spokane, and played college baseball for two years at Washington State University.  He made his way to Everett Community College and as part of his work here he developed a robust intramural athletics program.  As director of Student Activities in the 1970s and 80s, Rich supervised intercollegiate athletics and worked to turn a declining program into a thriving one.  Rich is also very involved in community sports as a coach and is a founding member of the Snohomish County Sports Hall of Fame committee as well as a member of the EvCC Athletics Hall of Fame Committee.  He and his wife Barbara reside in Everett.
