The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics has announced the winners of its AstroTurf Athletics Directors of the Year.
NACDA presents 29 awards in four geographic regions separated into seven categories across the NCAA, NAIA and junior college levels. Winners received their awards during the NACDA Convention June 7-10 in Orlando, Florida.
NACDA Executive Director Mike Cleary said the award highlights the efforts of athletics directors at all levels for the commitment and contributions to campuses and their surrounding communities.
“Our honors and awards committee recognized a need for an award such as the AD of the year,” Cleary said. “The program brings to light the exceptional jobs done by athletics directors across the country. These winners exemplify that, providing us with a group of outstanding athletics directors who excel at their jobs.”
Among the criteria are service as an AD for a minimum of five years; commitment to higher education and student-athletes; teamwork, loyalty and excellence; and the ability to inspire individuals or groups to meaningful accomplishments. Additionally, each AD’s institution must have passed a compliance check through its appropriate governing body, in which the institution could not have been on probation or cited for a lack of institutional control within the last five years during the tenure of the current AD.
