TopConnect, NJCAA Partner on Virtual Seminar; Participants Announced

The NJCAA and TopConnect have announced a mutual partnership, presenting the inaugural TopConnect NJCAA Virtual Symposium. The initial event is set for October 8-9.
 
TopConnect (formerly Villa 7) originated in 2003 by then VCU Athletic Director Dr. Richard Sander, identifies the top basketball assistant coaches in the country, and connects them with mid-major Athletic Directors providing tremendous networking opportunities for both parties. Following the recent success of TopConnect Basketball 2020, Dr. Christopher Parker, NJCAA President & CEO, and Dr. Richard Sander began to develop a program for the head men’s and women’s basketball coaches of the NJCAA.
 
TopConnect develops programming that allows top coaches to hear from a wide variety of successful leaders. Prominent head coaches, panels of mid-major Athletic Directors, major media and sports influencers, the inner circle of college basketball, and extremely successful business leaders who share their leadership experiences. The three-word mantra of “Connect. Prepare. Lead.” identifies the purpose of TopConnect.
 
Since the inception of Villa 7 (now TopConnect), the program has produced numerous Division I head coaches including Anthony Grant (Dayton), Buzz Williams (Texas A&M), Shaka Smart (Texas), Steve Forbes (Wake Forest), and recently Greg Gary (Mercer), Brett Nelson (Holy Cross) and Bryan Mullins (Southern Illinois).
