The National Athletic Directors Conference (NADC) finishes up its annual meeting in Nashville today, and it drew a record number of attendees.
Nearly 3,000 high school and middle school athletic directors gathered for the 53rd annual conference sponsored by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA).
Dr. Karissa Niehoff, NFHS Chief Executive Officer: The growth of the high school athletic administration profession, as well as the NADC, was fueled in 1977 when the NFHS formed the NIAAA, a national professional organization for high school athletic administrators.
Neihoff is the first female to head the national leadership organization for high school athletics and performing arts activities.
