The 2012-13 wrestling season was one of tremendous feats on the mat and coverage from our colleagues within the media and sports information professions.
The NWMA membership year is now open and several new member benefits will be added for 2013-14. Several ideas were brought up at our annual meeting at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships and we will be implementing them this year. Stay aware by liking the organization on Facebook.
Your membership dues go towards paying for annual awards and our annual media social held at the NCAA Division I National Championships. If there is demand for other media socials around the country at other events, your membership dues will help cover costs of those events as well. This is a media organization FOR the media, BY the media.
As standard with college athletics, there are dozens of new wrestling contacts across the Sports Information and Media Relations offices on college campuses. We will be updating the members-only director of wrestling SID's in the coming weeks. The 2013-14 Division I SID's have been updated. We will work on Division II, III, NAIA and NJCAA in the coming weeks. This is a long process and involves some man hours.
As always, my inbox is always open. So if you're a member with questions, concerns or suggestions, email me at jason@bryantwrestling.com. If you're a potential member and want to find out more, I'm always willing to explain the vision and mission of this group of incredible media professionals.
