Help NSMA Fulfill Our Mission | |
The NSMA kicked off its Virtual Mentor Program on July 10. And now we're looking for more industry veterans to serve as mentors.
The commitment is a minimum of one, one-hour virtual meeting per month. Mentees come to the meeting with examples of their work. Mentors watch, listen, or read the demo material, then coach the mentees on improving their skills and performance.
The program began with 12 mentor-mentee matches. More will be added.
To enroll in the program as a mentor or mentee, please click on the button below.

NSMA interns learn about all of the organization's operations and assist with marketing and promotions, content creation and updating for the NSMA website, and content creation and posting on NSMA's social media channels.

Thank You to Our Sponsors | |
|
The NSMA owes a debt of gratitude to all our sponsors, who support our dual mission of honoring excellence in sports media while helping students and young professionals navigate their path.
Special recognition goes to Mark Brazil of our Champion Sponsor, the Wyndham Championship. Not only did Brazil commit the Wyndham (you can watch the Wyndham this weekend on the Golf Channel, today through Sunday) as a sponsor, but he also recruited other sponsors for the Awards Weekend.
Thank you also to our MVP Sponsors: ESPN, Don & Robbin Flow, the Greensboro Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Greensboro Sports Council, and Ben Sutton.
And thank you to our All-Star Sponsors, the Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro Sports Foundation, Kontoor Brands, and Wyndham Travel + Leisure.
