the Past
Virtual Hall of Fame Audrey Bayles-Hester 1977-1979 Audrey Bayles is a leader in her relatively short professional career her leadership
All these noteworthy accomplishments notwithstanding, it has been Audrey's unmatched record of leadership in our National professional association, CAHPER, that unquestionably makes her deserving of this honour. For eight years she was a member of the Executive Committee of the National Board of Directors serving as Vice-President for physical education (women); Vice-President for membership; President-Elect; National President for two years, and finally, in a most active way, Past President. Truly an impressive record! During these years of service to our profession Audrey has accomplished many distinguished achievements but it was during her two years as national President that her leadership abilities really excelled. CAHPER's membership reached an all time high; government relations were excellent; the bold and successful Liaison Membership project was launched; committees were strengthened, with most exceeding their past levels of achievement and membership; and, through the development of the Trust Fund, CAHPER achieved financial stability which it had never previously known. Image from 1978 Conference Leadership has been defined as the ability to establish and launch a creative atmosphere in which people are motivated to move toward the successful achievement of their goals. That is the quality of leadership Audrey Bayles has continuously provided her profession and this Association.
Many of us have known Audrey as a leader, but there are others who know her as a kind, thoughtful and loyal friend. Always prepared to do more than her share and to lead the way with bold and daring vision, she has surely been cast in the mould of the great physical educators who have preceded her.

achievements as a teacher, inspector and program consultant have established a standard few could match. While serving as a secondary school teacher and later as Health and Physical Education Department Head in her home town of Ault Ste Marie, she managed, in spite of a heavy teaching load, to make time to serve as a coach, sports convenor and training official. This drive, skill and leadership ability was quickly recognized at the professional level. For the past fourteen years she has served in a number of responsible capacities with the Ontario Ministry of Education; as a valued staff member and assistant girls’ camp director for the nationally acclaimed Ontario Athletic Leadership Camp; as a new curriculum development adviser for the Minister; and as Chairperson of a number of Ministry-initiated special studies.
