Carson, CA -- Continuing his outreach program, newly appointed Cal State Dominguez Hills Athletics Director Patrick Guillen was the marquee speaker at this afternoon’s South Bay Athletic Club luncheon, a weekly forum comprised of professionals and sports buffs from the south bay and surrounding areas.

Spreading the CSUDH Athletics word, Guillen was introduced by longtime Daily Breeze columnist Mike Waldner, and spoke of the improvements the Toros Athletics Department has made and is currently making under his guidance. Subjects ranging from CSUDH’s newly generated corporate partnerships with Velocity Sports Performance, Island Wireless and the Doubletree Hotel Carson Civic Plaza went hand-in-hand with the success stories Guillen relayed about both men’s and women’s soccer teams vying for NCAA titles annually, women’s basketball looking to make consecutive appearances in postseason play, numerous All-Americans in track and field, and the softball team defending its CCAA title as their season begins today.

Additionally, Guillen informed the SBAC about Toros Athletics hosting a business luncheon for community business leaders in April, as well as plans for CSUDH’s Inaugural Athletics Hall of Fame, tentatively scheduled for fall of 2006.

The SBAC, currently in its 41st year, holds its luncheons at the South Bay Grill in Torrance, where moderator Fred Petersen undertakes master of ceremony duties after lunch is served to its members and their guests of honor.
