Michigan

Hello, Let me introduce myself. I became an official in 2017 after (retiring from boxing) I have been involved in boxing for over 28+ years. I have won two Golden Gloves State Championships. 2004, 2014. I have experience fighting out of the Country in full contact Kickboxing. I have trained with Clarissa Shields and many Pro Boxer's/Kickboxers from the state of Michigan. I have also coached many young kids at (PK Boxing gym.) Owned by Brian Lentz. I have judged over 600 individual boxing matches in just my first year as an official. I traveled for 6 months training at numerous gyms in our state to become a referee. Including, University Of Michigan. I judged and made it into the finals of our last two National Golden Gloves tournaments. 2022-2023. In my professional work, I am a former Correctonal Officer of a Level 5 Prison in Ionia. I moved on in my Law enforcement experience to become a Theft Investigations Officer. I'm very passionate about our beloved sport. I'm very passionate when it comes to helping our boxer's and coaches. I believe we need more of a working relationship between coaches and officials. I have the experience with coaches and boxers to help develop a working relationship. I love boxing. I love to judge. I love to referee. This is an amazing sport we are all blessed to be involved with. Thanks, Lorriane 🥊

Thank you for supporting me as your next Vice President. I have served on the board of directors for the past 7 years as secretary, and for the past 3 years as secretary and acting Vice President. I wish to continue serving our athletes, coaches and officials in the next term as your VP. I believe that I represent the MI LBC in a competent manner and have been a positive advocate for our members.

I have been an official for 14 years, volunteering my time at the local, state and national levels. I am a Level III official, OIC (supervisor), and LBC Clinician in good standing. In my time on the board have been recognized as a dedicated and dependable official by the LBC and strive to be proficient in the ever-changing rules and procedures of USA Boxing.

In my personal life I work as a Human Resources Generalist for a Federally Qualified Health Center with over 400 employees. My experience in working with a large and diverse group of employees, as well as governing the HR compliance requirements of my job, has proven helpful in navigating difficult issues in my 2 terms on the BOD.

I look forward to continuing to serve with the other members of the LBC board to advance Michigan Boxing and to assist in providing our athletes a pathway to the next level.

I have been an official for 17 years and a Master Official for the past 10. I have served the LBC in the last four years as Chief of Officials. I am a certified Official in Charge and a Clinician. I have served the past four years as Chief of Officials. I have acted as Clerk, Judge, Referee, Timer and Official in Charge for numerous events. I believe my experience as Chief of Officials has demonstrated that my planning, scheduling and recording skills would make me an excellent Secretary for the Michigan LBC.

Since my teenage years I've been a boxing fan. Wanting to become a boxing judge has been a goal for quite some time and finally came to fruition in August. 2021. I've worked as an Executive Assistant for over 30 years for global and local companies. As a Volunteer Coordinator, I've volunteered and fundraised for American Heart Association, Arthritis Walk, March of Dimes, American Diabetes Association, Charles H. Wright African American Museum, Adopt-A-Child and several other charities. Earned a Word Processing Certificate from Detroit Business Institute and have learned numerous business applications on-the-job training.

I am interested in staying on the board. I feel I have plenty of experience with my banking back ground. I am the tournament Director of the East Michigan Golden Gloves. I feel I have good input to help the board and our boxers to keep our board in good shape. My reports are always on time to USA boxing.

Being an active USA Boxing official for seven plus years, participating in numerous tournaments both regionally and nationally, and now living in a different LBC than where I started; my desire to continue participating in, growing with, and giving back to the sport and athletes just keeps increasing. I see the need, everywhere, for not only the officials to be further educated and for training to be streamlined for consistency, but also for coaches and athletes to understand the rules of which their performance in the ring is being judged by. As well as to expand the understanding of safety of the boxer above all else.

I have also been a part of the Iron Range Betties, which is a volunteer group of ladies who utilize pin up culture to raise money and awareness for local clubs, as well as giving back to the community and helping those in need. Every year we gather donations and put together a free Thanksgiving meal for those who maybe are without family or cannot get around well, or have jobs they have to work during a holiday, such as ER staff, EMT crews and local Firehouses.

At work I am in a managerial role and part of what that entails is that I help to remotely train new employees or help train current ones on upskilling their roles within the company.

I am currently a level III official, clinician, and OIC. I consistently study both R/J and National rulebooks, along with helping with study groups for officials to attain the highest level of officiating.

A quote, by JFK, states, "Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." I think this epitomizes the position of the COO. Not only are you constantly learning all the rules and changes of them, along with the interpretations of them, but you also have to have the ability to impart this knowledge out to those you lead.
