Sport Navigation Menu
Leading up to the 2016 CoSIDA Convention (June 12-16, 2016), we will highlight different aspects of the convention, whether it be specific programming, a featured speaker, social events, volunteer opportunities, convention promotions, etc.
Today's highlight is on our new Leadership Forum, a special one-day programming opportunity that leads off the 2016 CoSIDA Convention. Join us for this special day of programming bringing together senior-level administrators in sports communications, athletic directors and executives who have impacted college sports for panel discussions and networking opportunities.
The Leadership Forum is a separate registration event (not under the CoSIDA Conference registration) designed for anyone currently in a college sports communications leadership role, such as assistant, associate or deputy athletics director, or who aspires to be in that position in the future. A limited number of seats are available.
- Preregistration for the Leadership Forum is $225 for current CoSIDA member and $275 for non-members.
Preregister and check out the Leadership Forum schedule of events HERE.
