2013 CoSIDA Convention during NACDA & Affiliates Convention Week to feature productivity and employ
College Sports Information Directors of America
Collegiate sports communications professionals will be truly impressed with the “Kickoff Session” of the 2013 CoSIDA Convention in Orlando next June.
Laura Stack, MBA, CSP, a leading expert in time management, work/life balance, stress management and other areas that are essential to the success of SIDs nationwide, will provide her presentation at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12 at the Orlando Marriott. The announcement was made by CoSIDA Second Vice President Eric McDowell (Union College - N.Y.), who is overseeing the 2013 convention programming.
For the first time in CoSIDA history, the annual CoSIDA Convention will be held in association with the NACDA and Affiliates Convention. Althought CoSIDA will hold its convention activities in conjunction with NACDA and share programming and a social event (TBA), the CoSIDA leadership is running the convention - and its other social activities - independently.
