Wayne Sneed has been a KBA Board member since 1992. He began service to the Association as a house rep at Peotone Bowl. Several years later, Sneed was appointed a member of the tournament committee. Following that run, he became assistant secretary, his current position. Over the years as a board member, Sneed has been very involved, particularly in the area of computerization of the Association. With his knowledge and diligence in moving the administrative functions of the Association from manual to computerized, the transition has been smooth and successful. Several years ago, Sneed was instrumental in the purchase of a laptop computer, for use on site at the annual tournament. As a result, the tournament committee was able to generate and update information more quickly. Probably the most significant contribution in this area was his being responsible for the creation of the KBA web site. The web site shows current tournament results, past champions in all categories, lists series bowled and much more. The web site also includes link to other sites including the ABC tournament site, Illinois State association, PBA, and the youth bowling site, YABA. Sneed has spent many hours gathering history on previous tournaments and in general just setting up the site. To date, he continues to monitor and update the site on a regular basis. His service to the association has been most appreciated. On the bowling side, Sneed has one perfect 300 game in 1974 that he rolled at Burr Oak Bowl in Blue Island. He owns 3 KBA titles, this year's handicap team, 1995 handicap doubles with his son, Jason, and singles scratch in 1985. Sneed also won the 1998 handicap singles at the Illinois Bowling Association Jamboree.
