Mike Chason was named the Director of Public Relations at ABAC in 1979. As a former sports editor of the Valdosta Daily Times, he loved sports and involved himself in the ABAC basketball program by broadcasting the Golden Stallions and Golden Fillies’ games on the radio from 1979 to 2008. In 2008, as a part of ABAC’s 100^th birthday celebration, Chason originated the idea for the ABAC Athletics Hall of Fame. He retired in 2011 but returned to the college on a part-time basis as a consultant in his role as Director of Public Relations Emeritus.
