April Emory

Emory was appointed by CoSIDA president Joe Hernandez to fill the unexpired term of John Arenberg of Emory University, who has left the profession and therefore vacated his spot on the Board.

Emory has been sports information director at ECSU since 2001. Prior to that, she was SID at St. Paul's College, her alma mater.

She has been a member of CoSIDA since 1999 and has served on the CoSIDA Scholarship Committee since 2003. In July, she was elected president of the CIAA SID Association after serving as vice president since 1999. She is also secretary of the Black College Sports Information Directors Association.

CoSIDA was founded in 1957 and has grown to over 1,800 members in the United States and Canada. The purpose of this organization is to empower its members in their roles as sports information professionals. It is the desire of the members to have the profession take its rightful place on the decision-making levels of college athletics.
