The Arena Football League executive committee selected Colorado Crush co-owner John Elway as chairman of the committee at the AFL board meetings in Miami.
The executive committee works closely with commissioner David Baker on league matters and generally votes on all issues before they are presented to the full board.
Elway succeeds Los Angeles Avengers owner Casey Wasserman, who rotated out as chairman after serving in the post for almost three years. Elway also rotates off as chairman of the rules and competition committee, although he remains a member of that committee.
