Cleveland, Ohio - The National Alliance of Two Year College Athletic Administrators (NATYCAA) announced a logo change for the association at its Annual Convention, June 6-7, at the World Center Marriott Resort in Orlando, Florida, in conjunction with its 20th anniversary. The new logo is effective immediately.

"NATYCAA felt that, in conjunction with our 20th anniversary, it was an appropriate time to update our logo," said Bob Myers, AD at Solano Community College and president of NATYCAA. "We are excited with the updated look of the logo, while keeping the colors that the NATYCAA founding fathers incorporated with our association 20 years ago."

Now in its 21st year, NATYCAA is the professional organization of two-year college athletics administrators and membership is open to all two-year institutions from throughout the country. The Association is administered by NACDA, now in its 43rd year. NACDA is the professional and educational association for more than 6,500 college athletics administrators at more than 1,600 institutions throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. More than 2,000 athletics administrators annually attend the NACDA Convention.

Additionally, NACDA administers 10 professional associations for the separate business units that report directly to the athletics director. NACDA also operates the Sports Academy Directors' Cup program, which honors the four all-sports champions in NCAA Divisions I, II and III; and the NAIA. The Association has an awards program that includes the James J. Corbett Memorial Award, the highest administrative award presented in intercollegiate athletics; the AstroTurf Athletics Director of the Year (ADOY) Award, honoring the top-29 athletics directors by division across the country; and the Coca-Cola Community All-American Awards, recognizing seven student-athletes by division for their community service efforts. NACDA also provides a daily web clip service, the NACDA Daily Review; and a bi-monthly magazine, Athletics Administration.
