Since its inception in 1937, the NAIA has promoted the education and development of well­ rounded students and productive citizens through intercollegiate athletics. Over those 72 years the NAIA has provided opportunities for more than 45,000 student-athletes to compete for 23 national championships in 13 NAIA sports.

The NAIA is committed to the true spirit of competition and the Association is striving through its programs to intentionally teach respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship. This National Championship event offers the opportunity to recognize our student-athletes for their dedication to mastering their sport, succeeding academically and developing their character. In addition, much credit and appreciation goes to coaches, administrators and fans for their continued support of their athletic teams and student-athletes. All of us at the Association sincerely thank the Sioux City Convention Center, Tyson Events Center and Tourism Bureau for hosting this event and furthering the mission of the NAIA.
