CoSIDA President Follows in Father’s Footsteps
PHILADELPHIA – Temple University Associate Athletic Director for Athletic Communications Larry Dougherty has been named the recipient of the 2011 Irving T. Marsh Service Bureau Award (University Division), as voted by the Eastern College Athletic Conference Sports Information Directors (ECAC-SIDA).
Currently the president of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), Dougherty joins his father, the late Andy Dougherty, as the only father-son combination to win the Marsh Award. Andy, who served as the SID at Saint Joseph's from 1972-81 and is a member of the university's hall of fame, won the Marsh Award in 1982.
The Irving T. Marsh Awards are given annually to a University (Division I or II) and College Division (Division III, NAIA) or Junior College ECAC Sports Information Directors Association member who, in the opinion of the ECAC-SIDA membership and Executive Board, has exhibited excellence in the field of sports information. The awards are presented annually at the spring workshop. First presented in 1966, the awards are named after Irving T. Marsh, the ECAC Service Bureau founder and director until his retirement in 1973.
After honoring one person from 1966 through 1990, the Marsh Award was expanded to its present format in 1991 (University Division listed first, College Division listed second).
Dougherty will receive the honor at the annual ECAC-SIDA workshop Awards Dinner on June 9 in Rochester, N.Y.
Dougherty is in his eighth year at Temple and his fourth year on the CoSIDA Board. 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, Dougherty has served as the president of Philly-SIDA (2003-10) and 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.
