Congratulations is in order for Jarvis Christian College s President Dr. Lester C. Newman. He was just named Chair of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Council of Presidents (COP) effective July 1.
What exactly does all of this mean? The COP is composed of 23 institutional presidents who represent the 21 NAIA conferences, plus two at-large members. As part of the NAIA s shared governance model, the COP is designated as a governing body and has authority over membership, all fiscal matters, and conference operations. Lester s insight and thoughtfulness have already made a positive impact on the COP over the last five years, said NAIA President Jim Carr. I look forward to working with him in this leadership role.
