This workshop will provide a comprehensive overview designed for the new athletic administrator, an aspiring athletic administrator or any athletic administrator desiring a refresher.  The philosophy is to assist the athletic administrator in the many and varied duties associated with the position.  If you have just been hired, been on the job for a year, switching schools, serve as an assistant, or simply hope to join the profession one day – come and join us, you won’t regret your decision!  High school/middle school and public/private Athletic Administrators are all welcome.

Topics addressed will include Financial Procedures and Budgets, Human Resources procedures, Legal Issues, The First Year Experience, NIAAA certification, Getting Organized with Staff – Office – Community – Events, Independent School-specific Topics and VHSL-specific Topics. A tentative schedule will be available soon.
