On the final day of August (Aug. 31), CoSIDA members will be asked to participate in a historic vote to accept a new name for the national association.

The proposed new name — College Sports Communicators — has been recommended by the strategic branding working group and the CoSIDA Executive Board of Directors. Following the implementation of the All-In membership model to include all communicators and creatives in college athletics, the new name is the next step in the organization’s strategic rebranding to become a more inclusive organization.

Members should be aware that the vote is only for the new name of the association. Work on new branding and logos will begin upon approval of the new name. Membership voting for such organizational changes is outlined in the CoSIDA constitution.
