Dr. Tom Woodall has been involved with FCA for more than 60 years, attending the first of at least 15 camps at Estes Park in 1963. Inspired by the public Christian witness of 11-year NBA veteran Bob Pettit, the first recipient of the league’s MVP award in 1956, Woodall has served FCA in just about every way possible — as an Illinois FCA Board Member, national conference attendee and worker, event organizer, Huddle Coach and Coaches Huddle leader. In the 1990s, he was awarded the Illinois FCA Model Servant Leader Award, and he was instrumental in bringing FCA to the campus of Eastern Illinois University, where he worked for 35 years (1965-2000), led the 1977 EIU cross country team to an NCAA Division II championship and holds the distinction of Professor Emeritus in exercise science.
