Passionate, resilient, strong and inspired aren’t only the cornerstones of NACWAA values, but the words also describe key characteristics of the 38 athletics administration professionals who attended the 2014 NCAA/NACWAA Institute for Administrative Advancement West held in Denver, May 28 – June 1. This level one institute provides participants with the platform for growing their professional community, expanding their knowledge for advancing in the field and gaining a renewed sense of self ready to take on all of life’s goals. Team NACWAA was thrilled to work with this motivated group of professionals along with the 18 faculty members who delivered intentional messages instilling insights and creating action items for all participants.

A few topics discussed during the week included:

• Grow your confidence
• Setting the intention
• Negotiating
• Building Power Relationships
• Being authentic
• Defining moments
• Developing your “X Factor”
• Visioning your future: 90 days, one year, five years

We’ve received great feedback already from participants and we are so grateful to be such a meaningful part of the empowerment and development of so many! You can view a complete list of graduates, photos and a highlight video here. Are you interested in attending a NACWAA summer institute? Applications for the 2015 institutes will open in February 2015!
