Beginning July 1, 2016, CoSIDA will introduce group memberships. The Board of Directors adopted a proposal to offer active memberships to groups of three, six and 10 in addition to the current individual, associate and student memberships. More details will follow over the next few months about this new membership choice and the benefits your school can take advantage of if you have staffs of three or more. The group options are detailed below.
Group active membership for 10 - $1,400
• 10 active memberships at $140 each
• Additional active memberships above the 10 at $100 each
• Two free job postings on CoSIDA.com included
Group active membership for 6 - $840
• Six active memberships at $140 each
• Three additional active memberships (#7, #8 and #9) at $100 each
• Two free job postings on CoSIDA.com included
Group active membership for 3 - $420
• Three active memberships at $140 each
• Two additional active memberships (#4 and #5) at $100 each
Each of the group active membership options includes full- and part-time staff, graduate assistants, interns and undergraduate students.
All memberships are retained by the school or conference if a person included in the group membership listing leaves the school or conference for any reason.
The individual membership option is still available for staff members that do not wish to take advantage of a group membership. Those options – and any changes from previous years - are outlined below.
Individual active membership - $140
• To include full- or part-time employees, graduate assistants, interns or undergraduate students employed by a school or conference.
• In the event the member leaves the institution,
membership is retained by the individual regardless of who pays for it.
Associate membership - $195
• To include anyone associated with intercollegiate athletics who is not employed by a school or conference
Undergraduate student membership $50
• Only applicable for undergraduate students
• Convention registration fee discounted by $50
Academic All-District and All-America® nomination and voting rights are extended to all current dues-paying active members, regardless of whether they are included in a group membership or are an individual member.
Associate members and undergraduate students who purchase a single undergraduate student membership will not have these nominating and voting privileges beginning next year. Undergraduate students who are included in a group membership are permitted to nominate and vote. This is a significant change from past years.
All CoSIDA Lifetime Achievement Award winners are extended free annual membership. For criteria on receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award and to nominate for one, click
