ROGER DALKIN IS NAMED NEW E.D. OF BCA OF WISCONSIN

One of the most experienced executives in the bowling business, Roger Dalkin, has been named Executive Director of the Bowling Centers Association of Wisconsin. The appointment became official on Aug. 1.

Dalkin had been serving as BCAW’s program director under long-time E.D. Yvonne Bennett, who retired last year. A national search for a successor to Bennett resulted in the hiring of an individual who departed for another position in the industry at the end of June.

“We’re beyond excited to have Roger step up and fill this position,” said Erik Gialdella, owner of Revs Bowl, Bar & Grill in Oshkosh, Wis., and President of the BCAW. “He’s a great leader for our association and he has a wealth of experience with our programs.”

The plan calls for Dalkin and the association to train a new program director and administrative assistant while keeping the association’s numerous programs — many of which deal with youth bowling — on track.

More on the hiring will be included in the “State Association News” department of the September issue of Bowling Center Management (BCM) magazine.
