The presentation of awards to these individuals will take place on the second day of the sixth annual conference, to be hosted by the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS⁴) at The University of Southern Mississippi.

“The reason for the Industry Leader Under 40 Award is to allow professional leagues, NCAA member institutions, high school athletic programs, and marathon and endurance organizations to honor outstanding young individuals in the field of sports safety and security for their contributions and leadership,” said NCS⁴ Director Dr. Lou Marciani.

“By honoring these individuals, we hope to inspire young people to strive to reach higher standards for both themselves and their organizations.”

Marciani noted that each league or organization selects the criteria and makes the determination as to which professional will be recognized. MicroPower Technologies is serving as the official sponsor of the Industry Leader Under 40 award.
