The committee was app ointed by the Chairperson of the Kentucky Division of Girls and Women ' s Sports and met for the first time December 2, 1967 . The purpose was to develop state guidelines and policies for the development of varsity athletic programs for college women . Representatives from nine institutions attended this first meeting. One year later a fundamental precept emerged: "The Committee feels that there can be no justification for intercollegiate competition unless it affords the participant an opportunity for development in all aspects , not skill al one . Focus should be on the devel o pment of players , not the building of records. " The continued growth generated by the Committee led to structural and name changes . In 1970 , the first formal operating code was passed and the Commi ttee was changed in format to the Kentu cky Women ' s Interco llegia te Conference. The first conference tournament was conducted in 1971. KWIC representatives participated in the first AIAW national and regional tournaments initiated in 1972 . By 1981 , Conferen ce championships were organized in seven sports. ~~ With the growth of women ' s inter colleg iate athletics and the sponsorship of championships through NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA affiliated conferences , the KWIC underwent a change in focus and name in 1996. Re-named the Kentucky Women ' s Intercollegiate Consortium, the KWIC continued to dedicate itself to sponsoring wo~n ' s,i~tercollegiate sports tournaments in Kentucky , as well as~erv~'js a vehicle for the networking, mentorship , and promotion of women ' s athletics in the Commonwealth . 1Ji ~ 2003 , the Consortium underwent a second change by eliminating the sponsorship of tournaments. The current focus of the Consorti um is to provide professional development opportunities f or its constituents . 4 �T hi sc opywa spr oduc e df ort hepur pos e sof pr i v a t es t udy , s c hol a r s hi porr e s e a r c hf r om ma t e r i a l i nS pe c i a l Col l e c t i ons& Ar c hi v e s , E a s t e r nKe nt uc k yUni v e r s i t y , Ri c hmond, KY .
