AIAAA Today
Happy New Year!
Welcome to the second semester of the school year. We hope you all had a great winter break and are ready to hit the ground as we start back. The 2018 National Athletic Directors Conference in San Antonio was great! We had a good group of AIAAA members in attendance and the opportunity to network with other athletic directors across the country was amazing. The 2019 NADC will be in December in National Harbor, Maryland. Start planning now to attend.
The 2019 forms for the AIAAA Awards and Hall of Fame are now on the Awards page. Please note all deadlines and qualifications.
Speaking of conferences, our 2019 AIAAA State Conference will be September 7-10, in Prescott, Arizona at the Prescott Resort & Conference Center. Registration will go live on April 2nd for both Attendees and Exhibitors. More details to come so check the website often and also check with your AIAAA Conference Representatives.
