SIAC moves headquarters to Atlanta

SIAC Commissioner Gregory Moore continues to take steps to strengthen the conference’s visibility by moving its offices to downtown Atlanta.

ATLANTA, GA – Better web site? Check. Facebook? Check. Move to a more appropriate location? Check again. The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference officially moved its headquarters from Tucker to Atlanta on Friday, the latest move in an effort to increase public awareness for the conference. “The move to downtown Atlanta is beneficial to the SIAC and its member institutions,” said Edythe Bradley, Albany State’s University Sports Information Director. “The move means more visibility and more exposure in a corporate environment.”

The relocation to the South Tower of the Peachtree Center — which is in the heart of downtown Atlanta — makes sense, since it is closer to sponsors and the location of the SIAC basketball conference championship, but it isn’t exactly new territory. “The irony of the whole thing is that we moved back into the same building we were in 10 years ago,” SIAC Commissioner Gregory Moore told The Herald in an exclusive interview by telephone Friday. “But it’ll make the basketball tournament bigger and better, and increase the visiblity of the conference, where we’ve made great strides in the past.

“The goal is to make our conference more accessible as well.” Moore — who made the decision for the move after consulting with advisors — has also made a series of changes since he was hired a year and a half ago, among them adding a Facebook page for the conference and signing a deal with web design company SIDEARM Sports to increase visibility on the Internet.
