Testimonials           

The atmosphere and environment at BOSCA is amazing.  Once you attend you feel like you are part of a fraternity.  Sharing, learning, and inquiry are emphasized throughout the event.  Unlike some of the national conferences and conventions you may attend, all BOSCA attendees become your network by virtue of being in an engaged small group setting.  Attendance at BOSCA has had a real and measurable impact on our institution's trajectory as it relates to leadership, fundraising, planning and initiatives.  We will be back!

Angela Pohl, Deputy AD - Saginaw Valley State University

Anyone looking to enhance, build, or even start their career path in this college athletics should attend BOSCA. It is a fabulous networking experience and you are able to have meaningful individual and small group conversation that is found nowhere else.   I walk away with valuable information that I can bring back to impact my university and student-athletes every time I attend!  There is nothing quite like BOSCA!

Brian Sisson, Athletic Director - St. Mary's University (MN)

I first attended BOSCA in 2015 and haven't missed one since.  From start to finish, each year the conference offers insightful conversation (some by design, some informal), a great lineup of presentations from a range of areas and experience, and some of the best professional networking I have encountered!  BOSCA makes it a productive trip from the moment you pick up your materials and the learning continues when you return home and dive into the ideas that you've gained.  The key to BOSCA is scalable ideas and I've left all four events with a notepad full of them.



Jeff Mason, Asst. AD - Fundraising - Univ. of Central Missouri

At a time when I'm experiencing budget cuts that make attending professional development events difficult, I continue to prioritize BOSCA as the most impactful conference that I attend each year.  The networking and practical tips that I have learned have transformed our department.  This is a conference where you walk away with actual ideas that you can take to your campus and implement immediately.  The presenters and attendees are open books...professional colleagues that are truly trying to help one another.

Tony Hoops, Athletic Director - Bethel College

The BOSCA workshop exceeded all expectations.  Any time you can network with and learn from other collegiate sports professionals it's an invaluable experience.  What sets BOSCA apart, however, is the opportunity to do so with individuals who have similar resources and infrastructure.  Attendees truly "speak the same language."  I would encourage anyone to attend...you won't be disappointed.

Rob Chaney, Athletic Director - Tallahassee Comm. College

BOSCA was one of the best workshops I have ever attended.  I would describe the experience as "hands on."  The presentations were interactive and allowed for both the presenters and attendees to share best practices as well as engage in problem solving discussions.  As a first time AD I felt welcomed and found it very easy to network and ask questions.  Everyone in attendance was willing to share their ideas and talk with you to help develop your own.

Traci Murphy, Athletic Director - Daemen College

The workshop was one of the most productive, and collaborative events I have ever attended.  I would recommend this to anyone in the industry no matter if they were new to their position or have been working more than 20 years.  You're going to get something out of this that will help propel your program forward!
