Inner Harbor Greetings From ECAC-SIDA
Greetings all, how are you today!? Tonight is the awards dinner and something I am looking forward to very much as the person who gave me my first post-graduate sports information job, Rick Leddy, is winning the prestigious Irving T. Marsh Award (along with Ann King from The College of NJ). Rick was the longtime sports information director at Southern Connecticut and just recently retired and now works for the National Association of Basketball Coaches, something he has been a part of for over two decades. He has had a lot of his former assistants go on to work in sports information all over the northeast. It is going to be a great moment when Rick get his award that he so deserves and I have gotten a lot of comments from people this week on how happy they are for Rick.
I am in the middle of a break as the luncheon ended a bit early and the town hall meeting doesn't commence until 2:15. The town hall meeting is always one of my favorite panels at ECAC-SIDA every year since it is an informal, yet very productive session. Last year, a lot of good topics were mentioned and I look forward to hearing more good topics.
This morning was two panels and the table topics. Phil was here too doing a table topic on healthy living, something that is important in this business as we work a lot of hours. The topic I spent the most time with was the hometown releases and I shared my story about how I was able to get a story on the recently graduated Christine Chop in the Guam Pacific Daily News. People are fascinated about this and I definitely enjoy explaining to them the whole process.
As for the softball game last night, I apologize for the game not being on live stats! ;-) Maybe next year! I had fun, went 1-for-3 with an RBI, completed a nice double play by tagging out a runner at the plate and making an over the shoulder catch on a foul ball. It was a fun time by all!
I will try to blog later in the day or early tomorrow. If I can't, I hope you have enjoyed my blogs from the home of the Orioles and Ravens.
