The Empire 8 is celebrating its second installment of "Officials' Appreciation Week" for the academic year along with all other Division III conferences. This is a nationwide initiative to recognize and thank conference officials across all sports. The Empire 8 began the inaugural celebration in January to celebrate the winter season officials. This week, April 3-9, the conference will celebrate the spring sport officials.
The commitment of Empire 8 officials and referees to safe, fair and competitive contests is a critical part of the student-athlete experience.
Officials' Appreciation Week is one of numerous initiatives that are being implemented as part of the
Division III Commissioners Association (DIIICA) Strategic Plan for Collegiate Officiating that was created as a result of the
DIIICA's Strategic Analysis of the State of Collegiate Officiating.
DIII Officials' Appreciation Week is being held in conjunction with Division II conferences across the country. The effort is designed to recognize officials for the important role they play in competition across all sports.
