Check-in with Jim Carr: NAIA Way; Thank you

Jim Carr, NAIA president and CEO, actively seeks and responds to feedback on his thoughts about the NAIA and the student-athlete experience…Each championship season I try to attend at least two NAIA championships. Each and every time, I receive confirmation that the “NAIA Way” is alive and well.

The NAIA. Game on.

NAIA’s campaign, “Game on.”, tells the story of the NAIA through a variety of communications. The campaign brings together the facts of who the NAIA is, both today and yesterday, and tells the story of the association through our student-athletes.

This is a place to do it all.

The 70th Annual Convention started with a bang! On April 16, four past and current NAIA student-athletes shared their stories about successes and experiences at an NAIA institution, in front of an audience of 400. (Video)
