National Initiative and Assistance Network [NIAAA]

This committee coordinates the National Initiative & Assistance Network of the NIAAA. The purpose of the NIAN is for use by members in cases of medical or vehicular emergencies when traveling or to assist the office in the case of a natural disaster. The committee secures two emergency contact persons in each state and coordinates the publicity of this list of emergency contacts. The committee has one member from each of the eight NIAAA geographical sections and meets each year in conjunction with the NIAAA/NFHS National Conference for athletic directors.

An additional function of the NIAN is to raise awareness and funds to nationwide causes. The National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association has selected the Tunnels to Towers Foundation as the 2020 Initiative. The Tunnels to Towers Foundation honors the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. They also honor our military and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country

Working together as an association driven to serve, please join us in making a difference with our military and first responders by encouraging all members to contribute.
