About the NIRSA Foundation Leadership Award
The NIRSA Foundation Leadership Award recognizes an individual or group that has demonstrated outstanding dedication to the mission of the NIRSA Foundation through exceptional contributions of time, talent, and treasure. The award recognizes the value of volunteer service within NIRSA and distinguishes those who have provided leadership to the Association through active participation in fulfilling the NIRSA Foundation’s important work of providing support and meaningful opportunities for leaders in collegiate recreation.
The work of our Foundation is critically important to NIRSA’s future and our ability to remain vibrant and forward-thinking. Past winners of this award demonstrated their passion for NIRSA through action. This award seeks to identify and recognize an individual who possesses that same passion and service to our NIRSA Foundation efforts.
The NIRSA Foundation Leadership Award was first presented at the 2013 NIRSA Annual Conference to Darcy and Bob Bingham. Other recipients include Tom Dison (2014), Dave Koch (2015), Will Holsberry (2016), Stan Campbell (2017), and Loretta Capra (2018).
The NIRSA Foundation annually reinvests more than $100,000 into the NIRSA family in the form of scholarships, research grants, officials’ development, travel stipends, and more thanks to the efforts of many individuals.
