“The midwest conference is an interstate league among similarly minded institutions - those which give primary attention to the educational purposes of athletics. Member institutions believe that participation in sport enhances the undergraduate experience, providing valuable opportunities in the overall academic program - most significantly the opportunity for student-athlete growth and the realization of personal potential. Furthermore, the conference believes that the quality and conduct of coaches and athletic department staff are significant in the establishment and maintenance of intercollegiate sport as a co-educational endeavor. As part of its educational philosophy, members and affiliates of the midwest conference maintain that academic and athletic achievement are not mutually exclusive, purposefully supporting student-athletes in the pursuit of excellence in all that they do. The midwest conference accomplishes this goal, collectively and individually, by: valuting and advancing student-athlete well being, fostering and modeling sportsmanship, respecting and advancing diversity, and celebrating competivie success. Ultimate authority of the conference resides with the presidents of the member institutions, while the league is governed by the faculty athletic representatives, directors of athletics and senior woman administrators of the core schools. The executive director functions as the chief executive officer of the 501(c)(3) corporation. The position reports directly to and works alongside the league presidents to advance the mission of the conference and ensure activity of the member insitution campuses is consistent with the philosophy of the mwc and ncaa division iii.
