STEVENS POINT, Wis. – Lisa Gagas, the print production coordinator at the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, announced her retirement after more than 42 years of service with the organization, effective Aug. 31, 2025. 

Gagas joined the staff in 1982, assisting with the association benefits responsibilities. After one year, she transitioned to her role in print production, which included the publication of the Bulletin, State Tournament programs, Yearbook, Sport Season Regulations, Senior and Junior High Handbook, Media Guides, Policy Guidelines and many other membership and event publication projects.

She also assisted in the administration of the Sportsmanship Summit, media credential production, website maintenance, as well as publication and media release editing. 

“Lisa’s nearly years of experience with the WIAA is an absolutely incredible demonstration of service and dedication!  Her behind-the-scenes work to produce membership publications, such as state championship programs and WIAA Bulletins, has been remarkable,” Executive Director Stephanie Hauser said. “We will miss Lisa's consummate attention to detail, organization skills, work ethic, patience and collaboration.”

The WIAA, as defined by its Constitution, is a private, voluntary, unincorporated, and nonprofit organization. The membership oversees interscholastic athletic programs for 514 senior high schools and 36 junior high/middle level schools in its membership.
