the principal advocates and negotiators who helped integrate
the US Disabled Ski Team into the US Ski Association and
US Ski Team in 1986.
He was a member of the US Olympic Team in Calgary, Alberta
for the 1988 Winter Olympic Games as a cross country ski

Research
& Publications
Dr. Fay has focused much of his research in the area
of policy development and strategic management in sport
organizations. His research has been specifically related
to issues of integration and inclusion of racial/ethnic
minorities, women and people with disabilities. His doctoral
dissertation entitled: Race, Gender, and Disability:
A New Paradigm Towards Full Participation and Equal Opportunity
in Sport presented a new theoretical model called
the critical change factors model (CCFM) which helps frame
and explains the persistence of barriers to greater inclusion
within sport organizations.

has often presented at national and international conferences
on these issues. He also published a chapter on international
sport in Contemporary Sport Management by
Parks, Zanger, and Quarterman in which the Paralympic Games
and Paralympic Movement were highlighted. Dr. Fay was the
