To: Division I Football Championship Subdivision Commissioners

Stipend Nomination Form

The Division I Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association Officers and Executive Committee have created an opportunity where one administrator from each Division I Football Championship Subdivision Conference can further their professional education. This opportunity involves providing financial assistance to allow an administrator to attend the 2010 NACDA Convention, to be held June 22-25, 2010 at the Marriott Hotel in Anaheim, California. This stipend shall provide $500 to cover the following through reimbursement after the Convention:

• NACDA Member registration fee of $295
• $205 to help offset the cost of travel expenses

We are asking for your assistance in selecting one individual from your conference who might have interest in, and benefit from, this opportunity. In addition, the Executive Committee agreed to possibly offer a second $500 stipend to each conference that has at least 75% of their athletics directors as current paid members of the FCS ADA by the deadline. The hope with this second stipend is to encourage participation among as many FCS Athletics Directors as possible within the FCS ADA as well as supporting as many young administrators as financially possible. Enclosed please find criteria to follow when determining your recipient. When your representative(s) is/are identified, please forward the name(s) and contact information to:

Jason Galaska
Assistant Executive Director
NACDA

Please select your conference representative by Friday, March 19. We hope to continue to offer this program annually to each Football Championship Subdivision Conference. Thank you for your support of the Division I FCS ADA and please do not hesitate to contact me (pfields@msubobcats.com or 406-994-4221) if you have any questions pertaining to the selection process.
