Kim Record begins her thirdyear as Director of Athletics at UNCG. She was named to the post on Sept. 27, 2009. At UNCG, Record leads a program that fields men’s and women’s teams in 18 sports, nearly 300 student-athletes and over 70 employees.

Since arriving, Record has reshaped and revamped the athletic department, seen improvements on the field and helped stimulate interest within the campus and Greensboro communities.

In 2010-11, the Spartans finished higher in the South Conference Germann and Commissioner’s Cup races than ever before.

Record, inconjunction with Chancellor Dr. Linda P. Brady, helped develop school spirit-building campaigns such as Move In, Sunday Funday and the Go Blue Preview.

Record has been involved in several campus and community organizations. She is a member of the Greensboro Sports Council, an active member with the Greensboro Rotary and Vice Chairperson of the Greensboro Sports Commission.

She is also highly involved within the Southern Conference, holding membership on the Long Range Planning, Softball and TV Committees.

Record, who served as a consultant with ISP Sports before taking her current position, was the senior associate director of athletics at Florida State Unviersity from 1995 to 2008, and held a succession of positions at the University of Virginia from 1984-1995, culminating with an appointment as associate director of athletics for administration.

She emerged from a national search that drew 125 candidates, and is UNCG’s first female athletic director. There are only 29 female athletic directors in the NCAA Division I, with five of them in the UNC system. Record is only the second woman to hold an athletic director’s position in the 89-year history of the Southern Conference.

“I am delighted that Kim Record is joining UNCG as director of intercollegiate athletics,” said UNCG Chancellor Linda P. Brady upon Record’s hiring. “She is the right person for this position, and she possesses the leadership, administration and fundraising skills that are essential to bringing greater success to Spartan athletics. I look forward to working with her to raise UNCG’s program to a higher level of visibility and excellence.”

Record is responsible for the leadership, administration, organization and finances of UNCG’s athletics program, which is undergoing a major shift in its men’s basketball program. The Spartan men’s basketball team began playing its games in the Greensboro Coliseum in 2009-10.

Among other responsibilities, she coordinates fundraising and operation of the Spartan Club with the vice chancellor for university advancement. She will oversee efforts to engage alumni, fans and the community with UNCG athletics. The AD also took the lead role in strategic planning and in athletics facilities development. The athletics budget is approximately $8.8 million, and athletic scholarships provided for the 2009-10 academic year exceeded $2.1 million.

In her 13 years at Florida State, she had a broad range of administrative duties, including serving as a member of the Executive Management Team, which determined and implemented policy decisions for a 19-sport, $50 million intercollegiate program. She directly supervised three sports programs – men’s and women’s basketball and women’s soccer – and monitored Title IX compliance. Other areas included executive-level staffing; day-to-day departmental operations; serving as liaison with the trademark licensing program; and oversight for marketing, media and public relations, and radio and television contracts.

In construction, she facilitated FSU’s $6 million state-of-the-art soccer and softball stadium and its $10 million men’s and women’s basketball training center. She oversaw a project that showcased the history of athletics at FSU as part of a $100 million facilities improvement plan. Her initial responsibilities as associate director of athletics at FSU included oversight of men’s and women’s tennis, swimming & diving and softball. Record also held the designation of senior woman administrator.

At Virginia, she supervised all aspects of the day-to-day operations of the department and specialized in external operations. She implemented marketing and promotional strategies for all 26 sports programs as associate director of athletics for external operations. She was the executive staff member of a capital campaign team created to raise $50 million. She came up through the ranks at Virginia, where she earned her bachelor’s degree, starting out as a sports information intern who was progressively promoted in the department to associate director of athletics for administration.

As a consultant with ISP, Record provided marketing expertise in the area of athletics sports signage, including videoboards, scorer’s tables and other digital signage. She has also coordinated purchase and installation between vendor, institution and ISP.

Within the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Record has served on both the executive committee and the Director’s Cup Committee. Within the NCAA, she served on the Women’s Soccer Committee and the Regional Soccer Committee.

A native of Charlottesville, she graduated form Virginia and earned an M.S. degree in sports management from Florida State. She has two sons – Kyle, 23 a graduate student at the University of Virginia, and Josh, 18, a senior at Leon High School in Tallahassee, Fla.
