Re: CoSIDA Board of Directors and divisional leadership updates and initiatives
The CoSIDA Board of Directors wishes each of you a most successful and memorable fall season. We ask that you please pay close attention to two important matters (membership renewal process and directory update process) that demand your immediate attention as they each have deadlines just two weeks away- Friday, Sept. 14th. For all those who have paid 2012-13 membership dues and updated their directory information, we thank you!
The membership renewal process is important to each of you as you cannot nominate deserving student-athletes from your school for Capital One Academic All-America honors without being a paid 2012-13 member of CoSIDA. The directory is important to both CoSIDA membership as well as the media who rely on it as an important resource. The only way your respective school information can be accurate is if you take the time to review and update it personally.

Membership for 2012-13 and Directory Updates
· We are moving full speed ahead with many planning projects for the upcoming academic year and need your cooperation in updating your organization's directory information. Accuracy of the 2012-13 E-Directory can only be achieved with your input! We respectfully request your assistance by FRIDAY, SEPT. 14.
· Those who have moved into a new position, see an error in their online directory or have had staff changes recently are reminded to update their personal and/or organizational CoSIDA E-Directory information. See further informationHERE.
· Not a member and want to join CoSIDA, or do you wish to renew a membership(s) for 2012-13? CoSIDA membership for 2012-13 is open through FRIDAY, SEPT. 14. After that date, a $30.00 late fee will be applied for membership purposes (there are some exceptions, however). See our "CoSIDA Membership Benefits/Purchase a Membership" webpage for more information HERE. Remember that only current 2012-13 members are eligible to nominate - and vote for - Capital One Academic All-America honors. Regular dues are $115.00 (active), $125.00 (associate) and $35.00 (students/interns/graduate assistants).

Continuing Education Sessions / Online Resource Center
· CoSIDA's continuing education sessions for 2012-13 will kick off in September with an on-demand series of presentations and panels from the 2012 CoSIDA Convention. These on-demand videos are a prominent piece of our fall/winter continuing ed initiatives. To begin the new academic year and in conjunction with the online continuing education sessions for 2012-13, the CoSIDA membership will have another resource - a new online learning center/Resource Library beginning September 7. See more information on the Resource Library and continuing ed for 2012-13 HERE. |
