Division III Cabinet

The D3SIDA Board seeks to function as a voice for NCAA Division III athletics communications professionals, serving as advocates for its membership while empowering individuals to be key stakeholders within the intercollegiate athletics landscape. The board is comprised of a four-officer rotation, four regional representative positions and four standing positions.

Term:

Officer rotation: 4 years (one year each as 2nd VP, 1st VP, President, Past President)
Regional Representative: 2 years (two regions filled every other year)
Standing positions: 4 years (Academic All-America, Communications, Social Media and Conference Liaison, filled on a rotating schedule)

Time Commitment:

One Zoom meeting per month. Additional sub-committee work when necessary.

How To Apply:

Open positions on the board are solicited each year in the spring through the Cabinet Communications Liaison. The 2nd VP position and two regional spots are always up for nomination each year.

Process:

The D3SIDA board will solicit applications for open regional and presidential rotation positions each year via an online Form. This will be promoted via email and social media. Once applications are in, the membership will vote for the open positions. Voting for regional representatives is by region-only. Standing positions are appointed by the board per its bylaws, however, interested parties can contact the current president to be considered.
