More than 370 athletes to participate in annual leadership conferenceMore than 370 student-athletes have been selected to participate in the second annual NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference. Student-athletes were nominated from NCAA member institutions, including those that participate in the CHAMPS/Life Skills program. The conference will be held May 25-28 at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The forum, presented by the Entergy Corporation, will provide the opportunity for NCAA student-athletes to discuss and explore viable solutions to critical issues facing their peers around the country; to enhance their leadership skills; and to promote better communication among student-athletes, coaches, administrators, faculty and communities. The 1998 NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference will focus on topics recommended by last year's participants, as well as by the Divisions I, II and III NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committees. This year's list of conference speakers includes: Robin Roberts, anchor and sports commentator for ABC and ESPN; Tom Curley, publisher of USA Today; Cedric W. Dempsey, executive director of the NCAA; and Quinn Buckner, ESPN sports commentator/color analyst and member of the 1976 NCAA Division I men's basketball championship team. Delta Airlines is also a sponsor for the 1998 NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference. For more information on the NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference or the CHAMPS/Life Skills program, contact the education services staff at the national office.
