SANDY SILVER

Unwavering commitment to being the best that she can be and inspiring others to do the same; these have been hallmarks of Sandy Silver’s career in volleyball – first as an athlete, then as referee and coach, and more recently as an administrator. Sandy is a mentor for female Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) coaches across Canada and she founded an endowment fund that provides scholarships for female UBC volleyball athletes. Her contributions also reach beyond volleyball in her lifelong advocacy for social justice and gender equity in sport, and Sandy has been recognized in Volleyball Canada’s Hall of Fame as a builder.
