Jerry Wilson has been a Madison Area USBC member for over 50 years. He has been a valuable member of the Madison Bowling Association for more than 25 of those years, serving as a director from 1992-1996. He rose to Association Vice-President in 1998, Executive Vice-President in 2000, and was elected to his first term, of three, as President in 2003.
Wilson served a total of nine years as President of the MBA, representing local bowling every year at the USBC National Convention and at several Wisconsin State Annual Meetings and Jamborees. Beyond his service in official roles with the MBA, Wilson has served on the Wisconsin State Board of Directors, and he has regularly volunteered time on site to support the successful execution of countless local and state association tournaments.
His greatest role as an association leader was acting as chair of the Transition Committee, formed to guide our four previously separate local associations into one unified group. Wilson’s leadership as a parliamentarian and considerable association experience defined him and proved invaluable.
Outside of his association activity, Wilson served as league secretary of the venerable Bowl-A-Vard Merchants league for 20 years. He is also a Level 1 USBC Certified Coach, with many years of experience coaching in the Bowl-A-Vard youth bowling program.
