Speaking at York College
Posted on October 27th, 2009
I had a great time at York College and was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak on a panel in front of about 250 sports management and business students last night as part of their first ever professional panel and charity event. Thanks to Erik Eitel for inviting me to speak (and picking me up from DC) and thanks to Madeiline Ludt for driving me to the BWI airport this morning.They both helped put together an awesome event.
I also want to thank Dr. Tim Newman, the Coordinator of the Sport Management Program at York College for recommending me to Erik and sharing some of his time with me. I met Tim early this year on Twitter, then in person at the CSRI Conference in Chapel Hill. It was good seeing Tim again and meeting his wife and one of their daughters. Here’s the video interview Tim did with me. Tim-thanks for the opportunity and hopefully, I’ll see you again soon. And have a safe trip/awesome time in Malaysia!

It was great to see you again. You passed on some wonderful information to the students. Take care & I will talk to you soon.
For any person/organization that wants some insight on marketing and how to have a successful social media campaign, Jason Peck is the guy to talk to!

Jason, Thanks for coming down to York College this week. You provided myself as long as the rest of the sport management and business students with some valuable insight into the world of social media and personal brand. Keep in touch!

As usual – nice job. You are really getting out there and living up to your word by giving back. If you met any bright students who are interested in social media and sponsorships in the sports marketplace, I am taking on a select few to intern with us virtually. We just secured sponsorship sales representation for an MMA fight in Cancun in March, 2010. They can contact me via e-mail with resume and cover letter. dan@sponsorshipinsights.com
