Dear
DAVE,
Greetings
from Salisbury!
Please let me apologize if you got a "Dear (Wrong Name)" with our
first issue. Had a little Excel problem matching names and email
addresses. Hopefully, that has been fixed.
If you won a State Award and just received it via mail some time
in the last month or so, we would love to have a picture of you
with your Award. Please email it to me at: dgoren@nssafame.com.
As always, we are looking for new members and sponsors. Please
help us recruit to keep NSSA a vital organization that honors the
great work that you do every day!
Thanks!
Dave

Executive Director Dave Goren

One
of the gratifying parts of being the NSSA's Executive Director is
the number of people who call and say, "How can I help?" That shows
the level of interest and enthusiasm members have for NSSA. And
here's one way all NSSA members can help. In partnership with
Sunburst Creative Group, we're trying to launch a series of NSSA
Sports Summits -- one-day programs in various cities that include a
televised media roundtable and a scholarship/media recognition
dinner.
The roundtable would feature 10-to-12 panelists -- from sports
media, players, coaches, front office personnel and would use
Socratic dialogue and hypotheticals to foster serious discussions
of sports journalism.
In order to put these Sports Summits on though, we need to have
them funded. If you'd like a Sports Summit to come to your city and
know of local or regional businesses that would help fund one,
please let us know, either by phone {(704) 633-4275 Ext. 1} or by
email {dgoren@nssafaame.com}.

Internet Radio Debuts

NSSA Internet Radio debuted on Friday June 18th.
It's designed to provide NSSA members -- including student members
-- with an outlet for their radio talents. NAA member Larry Flegle
is operating NSSA Internet Radio for us. In addition to members
contributing programming, NSSA also plans to play historical
broadcasts from such luminaries as Grantland Rice, Bill Stern and
Dizzy Dean -- all NSSA Hall of Famers.
And NSSA has put out a call for programming. If you have something
you'd like to share on NSSA Internet Radio, please ftp your content
to Larry Flegle at lflegle@windstream.net.
