Xavier's Horn elected to GNOSF board of directors

NEW ORLEANS — Jason Horn, director of athletics and recreation at Xavier University of Louisiana, has been unanimously elected to the board of the directors of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation. Horn came to Xavier in March from the University of Detroit Mercy, where he served as associate athletic director for external affairs since 2011. Horn is one of two local collegiate athletics directors on the 130-member GNOSF board — the other is Tulane's Rick Dickson.      Organized in August 1988, the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation is a non-profit 501(c) (4) organization whose mission is to attract and manage sporting events that have a positive economic impact on the greater New Orleans area. Throughout its 25-year history, the GNOSF has played host to hundreds of events and turned a $65 million investment, from public and private sources, into a $2 billion economic impact for the State of Louisiana and greater New Orleans.
