This CoSIDA continuing education conference call resulted from a December 2009 meeting between CoSIDA Executive Director John Humenik and Greg Aiello, NFL VP of Communications. Their discussion was based on how the NFL could better provide its PR expertise to CoSIDA and our membership. With so many new issues and challenges facing Communications Directors in sports, CoSIDA and the NFL are working together so our colleagues from the NFL, a CoSIDA corporate partner, can provide their insight.

We look forward to your participation on May 11th !
