Sioux Center, Iowa — Sioux Center Parks Director Lee Van Meeteren has been named Iowa’s Sports Field Manager of the Year.
Van Meeteren received the statewide award at the recent Iowa Sports Field Management Association (ISFMA) banquet in Des Moines. The award recognizes professional ability and contribution to Iowa’s sports turf industry.
“Lee, along with his staff and facilities serve as a model of excellence throughout the sports field community,” said Jeff Lamoureux, ISFMA Executive Director. “Lee is well-deserving of this recognition.”
Lamoureux said Van Meeteren has selflessly contributed to the success of the Iowa Sports Field Management Association, serving in several leadership roles, hosting educational workshops in Sioux Center, and even recently being selected for the national Sports Field Management Association board.
Van Meeteren was nominated by former Sioux Center Community Schools athletic director Mark Hulshof and Sioux Center Assistant Parks Director Colton Waring, then selected at the state level.
