Lincoln's Ford-Kee selected to serve on NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. (May 16, 2011) — Lincoln University Director of Athletics Dianthia Ford-Kee has been selected to serve on the NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee (MOIC).  The term is effective immediately and lasts through September 1, 2014.

The association-wide committee spans NCAA Divisions I, II and III and was formed by the Association in January 1991 to review issues related to the interests of ethnic minorities and women. These issues focus on the education and welfare of minority student-athletes, as well as the enhancement of opportunities for ethnic minorities and women in coaching, athletics administration, officiating and the NCAA governance structure.
 
Ford-Kee brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position as this is her second appointment on an Association-wide committee. From 1992-1998, she served on the Committee of Women’s Athletics. Entering her fourth year as the Director of Athletics at Lincoln, she also currently sits on the NCAA Division II Diversity Project Team.
 
“I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee,” Ford-Kee said. “It has done great work since its establishment in 1991, and I am confident that my experiences and perspective can result in a positive influence for women and the different minorities that constitute the NCAA.”
