CoSIDA 2020 CoSIDA Compensation & Career Satisfaction Survey Results
Part 1: Realizing the Value of Communications Pros: A first look at the 2020 CoSIDA Salary Survey
Making a case for why SIDs are essential, and what we can do to frame our future.
April 16, 2020
Over a multi-part rollout of information and data, CoSIDA will share several overall themes from results gathered in the recently completed 2020 salary and compensation survey. An astounding 65 percent of CoSIDA membership completed the survey, which enables us to present valid data points and share critical information with our members to be used as they advocate for themselves and their departments in the coming months.
In Part 1, the theme focuses on the many essential skill sets of our members. Twenty-five distinct skill sets were identified in the survey and members were asked to select the ones they use in their jobs on a daily basis. While the answers were definitely some more than others, it turns out our members play a role in a huge number of cross-department functions. At no time are these skills more valuable to not only the athletic department but also the overall institution’s efforts to communicate and connect to stakeholders.
Our survey partner,
Athlete Viewpoint, has been instrumental in helping the CoSIDA staff drill down into specific data points. Athlete Viewpoint co-founders
Mike and Jennifer Cross, along with Advocacy Committee members
Mary Beth Challoner and
E.J. Borghetti, will be on the April 16 webinar to provide insight into the skills and value sports information directors bring to the athletic department and the entire institution and how to make the case for how SIDs can demonstrate and communicate that value while framing their future during uncertain times.
