DURHAM - Senior Associate Director of Communications Lindy Brown has been honored with the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) 25-Year Award.
Brown started at Duke in November of 1999. He spent seven years as an assistant sports information director prior to being promoted to associate SID in the summer of 2006. Over the summer of 2015, he was elevated to senior associate SID. Brown joined the Blue Devil family after serving as the sports information director/marketing and promotions coordinator at the University of South Carolina Aiken for three years.
"I have been in the business for 25 years and the one thing I pride the most about myself is relationships," Brown said. "We have such top-notch student-athletes, coaches and staff here at Duke and that has made my job so much easier."
In 2019, Brown received the CoSIDA Achievement Award for the University Division and was honored at the CoSIDA convention in June.
Current Duke Associate Professor of Surgery Georgia M. Beasley (Schweitzer), MD, a 2001 Duke graduate and two-time Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year, explains it best about Brown's dedication to Duke and his ability to form relationships.
"Lindy is an exceptional director of communications. His work ethic, integrity, and passion for sports have led to an immensely successful career," said Beasley. "As a student-athlete, he was engaging and professional. As an assistant coach, he was detail oriented and efficient. And now as an alum, I find him to be an effective communicator. His impact on the women's basketball program over his career has been essential to the program's success."
"Being visible has always been important to me. When you cover a team, show you care. And the best way to show you care is by being around and visible," Brown noted. "I try to go to practice as much as possible to chat with the coaches and student-athletes before or after workouts. The more they see you around the more they will trust you and know you care about the program."
He has been a part of six NCAA Women's Golf Championships (2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2014, 2019), three NCAA Women's Basketball Final Fours (2002, 2003, 2006), two NCAA Women's Tennis Final Fours (2003, 2012) and two NCAA Women's Soccer College Cups (2011, 2015).
