Executive Director, National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics
Intercollegiate athletics has morphed from two weekly Saturday afternoon television football broadcasts, to 24-hour news in the last 30 years and Dave Hart has been involved in a leadership position every step of the way. As a son of a football coach and athletics director, Intercollegiate Athletics has been ingrained in Dave’s DNA, starting as a student athlete and finishing his career in athletics administration as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Dave’s experience in all aspects of intercollegiate athletics is a stellar one (coaching, fund raising, facilities enhancements, marketing, student athlete life skills) and he has excelled in each and every phase throughout his journey. My first experience with Dave was in the late 80’s where he was the youngest member of a volunteer faculty staff of athletics directors at NACDA’s Management Institute. Dave, as a lifelong learner, loved to teach and share experiences with his peers across the country. Through Dave’s remarkable journey in Intercollegiate Athletics, he positively impacted tens of thousands of individuals, student athletes, and other administrators and alumni at each institution he served. Through it all, Dave Hart has always been a man of integrity, who cared about the people he mentored.
