PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Temple University Associate Athletic Director for Athletic Communications Larry Dougherty was named the 56th President of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) at the 2,500-member organization's business meeting held on Wednesday, July 7. The meeting was on the final day of the CoSIDA Convention held at the Marriott Marquis in San Francisco, Calif.
Dougherty, who also received the CoSIDA 25-year service award at the convention, becomes just the second athletic communications professional from a Philadelphia area school to serve as CoSIDA President. He joins legendary Penn SID C. Robert Paul, who was the second CoSIDA President, serving during the 1956-57 academic year.
"It is a tremendous honor to lead CoSIDA, especially at a time of great change in our industry," Dougherty said. "I hope to follow in the steps of the quality men and women who have held the position and to continue the forward momentum of our organization and profession."
Dougherty is completing his seventh year at Temple and is in his third year on the CoSIDA Board. He just finished his role as the first vice president in charge of the 2010 CoSIDA Convention program.
At Temple, Dougherty oversees the athletic communications and publications of the institution's 24-sport NCAA Division I program.
Dougherty joined the Owls' staff after serving 15 years in the media relations office at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, the last eight as the school's assistant athletic director for media relations. Prior to SJU, he served as the SID at Nicholls State for one year and as the information director of the East Coast Conference for two years.
Active in regional and national organizations, is currently the president of Philly-SIDA and has served on the ECAC-SIDA Executive Board (2006-08). He chaired the local organizing committee for the 2004 and 2009 ECAC-SIDA Workshops and the 2005 CoSIDA Workshop held in Philadelphia.
Dougherty earned both his bachelor's (1982) and executive MBA (1994) degrees from Saint Joseph's. He has taught courses in sports public relations at Temple University since 2005.
His father, Andy, served as the SID at Saint Joseph's from 1972-81, and is a member of the university's hall of fame.
