On behalf of the NIAAA Board of Directors, congratulations for earning the NIAAA Membership Commendation for 2017-18. Attached is a digital banner for you website use.
June 30 was our official count date and your state association has earned the commendation in a category of having 70% or higher of the number of schools in your state, growing by 10% or more, or being at Record Membership. Eight state associations earned commendations in all three categories’, which is a strong statement. Included is Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina and Vermont. A record 41 states earned commendations, a record 29 states are at record membership, and a record 28 states are at 70% or higher. Congratulations to Iowa, North Carolina and Ohio for breaking the 70% barrier for the first time. Mike Blackburn, CMAA Executive Director National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association |

Course of the Month
Captains Course
Captains Course
Are leaders born, or are they made? While some student-athletes have the characteristics to be a leader, leadership is a learned skill. Most captains receive little to no training on how to be a team leader. Coaches throw captains into a leadership role, and then cross their fingers that the student will succeed. With the help of Michigan State University’s Institute for the Study of Youth Sports and the Michigan High School Athletic Association, this course was created to help develop high school team leaders. Student-athletes are prominently featured via on-screen hosts and captain interviews throughout the ten-segment curriculum, while participants learn about leadership skills and reflect on and the important role of the team captain. |
