INDIANAPOLIS – University of New Orleans Associate Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Enrichment and Senior Woman Administrator
Kirsten Elleby was selected to participate in the Dr. Charles Whitcomb Leadership Institute 2019. 2019 will be the first of a two-year program for Elleby. Elleby is one of just 18 minority athletic administrators comprising this year's class.
The Leadership Institute's mission is to elevate participants' leadership skills to accelerate their professional growth "while enhancing their ability to excel within their current roles." It provides unique programming to assist in strategically planning and executing a career in athletics administration. Over the course of a calendar year, Elleby will participate in two five-day programs that focus on professional development by engaging in several areas of athletic administration (budgets, fundraising, strategic planning, student-athlete well-being, diversity and inclusion, compliance, behavioral styles, etc.).
"I am thankful for the opportunity to grow with an amazing group of athletic administrators this week," said Elleby. "It is an honor to participate in the Dr. Charles Whitcomb Leadership Institute. I look forward to taking our development here to UNO Athletics and continue to take the Privateers to the next level."
Elleby is in her third season at UNO. She is responsible for the management and advancement of academics, NCAA compliance, life skills and career development, community outreach and sports medicine. As Senior Woman Administrator (SWA), she is crucial to the management of student-athlete well-being, gender equity and Title IX issues. Elleby serves as sport administrator for indoor and beach volleyball, cross country and indoor/outdoor track and field.
