All NCAA presidents and chancellors may participate in a program led by NCAA staff via a webinar that will take place bi-annually. Presidents and chancellors who are within two years of appointment at an NCAA member school and have not previously served in a president or chancellor role, or presidents and chancellors who have transitioned as a president or chancellor in a different division within the last two years, will also have an opportunity to attend an in-person orientation at the NCAA national office.

This program aims to achieve two main goals:

• The primary goal is to help establish connections and sustain relationships with the NCAA President and other national office senior leaders. 
• The secondary goal is to educate participants on the structure and role of the national office and the role of presidents and chancellors in the current landscape of issues, challenges and opportunities in intercollegiate athletics.

The NCAA will send an email to all presidents and chancellors annually in August/ September providing more details about upcoming program dates and how to register.
