We love hearing from our colleagues

Jim is the ultimate professional with an incredibly unique approach to intercollegiate athletics. Our collective success was due in large part to Jim’s ability to lean in and remove any potential roadblocks to revenue generation and strategic partnerships. He has incredible knowledge of the collegiate landscape whether conference-focused or specific to colleges and universities.

Jim Siedliski was a tremendous asset to our Conference at a critical time as we returned to competition in a busy spring 2021 semester.  Jim's deep and varied NCAA DI experience helped us navigate the challenges we faced.  He quickly integrated with our leadership team and offered unique and nuanced solutions in a timely manner.  Moreover, I valued his discretion and confidentiality.  It was a pleasure to have Jim, and his passion for "serving the membership," as part of our team.  I highly recommend Jim's services regardless of the scope or sensitivity of the project.

Jim Siedliski is not only a consummate professional, but he is also one of the great people in the world of college athletics. As a former student-athlete, Jim has a true understanding of, and commitment to, the value of college athletics, which is the development of young leaders to live a life of purpose. He is a leader and a true professional.

I have worked with Jim Siedliski since 2006. A relationship that started out as colleagues quickly grew into a partnership.  Jim is a tireless worker and communicator and his leadership and vision made our event a celebration for the student-athletes. I have no doubt that whoever he works with will instantly reach another level under his leadership.

I have worked with Jim for 22 years. He sees the big picture and the smallest details. He has always shown incredible depths of knowledge and know-how when it comes to college sports administration, operations, scheduling, and more. He also has been a great mentor to his staff and developed some outstanding administrators whom he has guided up the ranks.
