CoSIDA Membership Donation Fund
CoSIDA members will see a modest increase in some membership dues for 2021-22 as decided by the Executive Board of Directors during its February meeting.
“CoSIDA remains one of the best values in intercollegiate athletics, both in membership pricing and in content delivered,” CoSIDA Executive Director Doug Vance said. “The pandemic has only increased the educational offerings, advocacy and community provided for our members. That level of service will continue as CoSIDA welcomes new and returning members in 2021-22.”
At the request of the membership, the Executive Board agreed to establish dues for the upcoming academic year in February moving forward instead of waiting until its in-person meeting at the annual CoSIDA Convention in the summer.
“The Executive Board understands the many hardships our members have and continue to face as a result of the pandemic,” CoSIDA President Sam Atkinson said. “We realize institutions and, in turn, our members will face a number of challenges in the coming year, so it was important to keep the dues at a level the membership could afford while also responding to the significant loss of revenue that supports member resources from CoSIDA.”
CoSIDA member benefits include:
Membership Categories and Dues for 2021-22

Note: Members from Canadian schools and conferences will be eligible to purchase full memberships based on an agreed-upon exchange rate in advance of when 2021-22 membership purchases open in August 2021. This action taken by the Executive Board helps make more fair the overall cost of dues for members from Canada.
