Associate Athletics Director and SWA
Joan Martin played an integral part in Monmouth Athletics for 33 years, serving as an associate athletics director, assistant athletics director, senior woman administrator and compliance director, as well as a coach during her time on the West Long Branch campus. Martin became part of the Monmouth coaching staff in 1969. She coached until 1982, at which time she joined the administration side of athletics. Martin led the women’s basketball program as head coach for 13 years, and mentored the softball (11 years) and field hockey (eight years) programs. Martin is most proud of being “a pioneer for promoting equality for women in athletics,” and for the banner which hangs on the wall in Boylan Gym, that carries her name.
