He served as president of the association during the 1977-1978 school year. In 1982, Hank was chosen as the Class AA Outstanding Athletic Director of the Year. He served as the secretary/treasurer in 1967-1968 and again in 1975-1976, along with being a district representative for several years. Hank served on the executive board as the first retired athletic director liaison in 1985-1986.
He is credited with the promotion and development of Bloomington-Normal athletic programs along with their youth programs. Hank helped create Central Illinois athletic programs as a leader and innovator in regards to high school athletics.
