WASHINGTON, D.C. - The LEAD1 Association announced that Senior Associate Athletic Director Gaylord Greene was a recipient of the minority scholarship award from the John McLendon Minority Scholarship Foundation for the 2018 LEAD1 Institute.
A total of 10 college athletics administrators from around the country were awarded the scholarships.Â
Â
The LEAD1 Association annually conducts the Institute, a three-day educational forum where experienced athletics directors teach and share information and know-how with the Institutes' participants. Typically, these are senior level FBS associate athletics directors nominated by their universities' athletics directors to attend the program. The goal of the Institute is to better prepare the participants to ascend into the role of athletics director. This year's Institute will be held July 16-18, 2018 at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas.
Â
"The McLendon Foundation is proud to once again partner with the LEAD1 Association to provide support for aspiring athletics directors," said Lee Reed, McLendon Foundation President and Director of Athletics at Georgetown University. "Just as the Foundation supports and invests in young people with our postgraduate scholarships, we are committed to assisting with the development of our minority colleagues to ensure a healthy pipeline of promising administrators for the future."
Greene, who recently completed a 20-plus-year military career and retired as lieutenant colonel, is a Senior Associate Athletics Director at Army West Point. Among the military schools Greene completed were the Artillery Officer Basic Course and Artillery Officer Advance Course. He graduated from the Army Command and General Staff College in 2007 and received an MBA from James Madison University in 2003. Green earned two varsity letters as a member of the Army football team in 1991 and 1992.
"The John McLendon Minority Scholarship Foundation continues to provide us with a unique opportunity to further the careers of some of the most accomplished individuals in athletics administration," Tom McMillen, President and CEO of the LEAD1 Association, said. "I offer each of them my sincere congratulations and look forward to working with them in July."
