Thompson Earns NCCAA Award
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- The National Christian College Athletic Association has given one of their Meritorious Service Awards to Maranatha Director of Athletics, Rob Thompson.
The award goes to individuals who, over a period of years, exhibit dedication and special service to the NCCAA. Their efforts must have made a significant contribution to the welfare of the association and be so recognized by the participating colleges as a whole. This award went to four different recipients, as was announced at this year's NCCAA Convention.
Besides serving as NCCAA President (since summer 2020), Thompson also serves as the North Region Coordinator overseeing policy, postseason tournaments and logistics, and a substantial list of administrative duties for the 11-institution NCCAA North Region.
"Coach Thompson has dedicated his entire life to serving the Lord and ministering to others," said Maranatha CEO, Dr. Matthew Davis. "He is a man that prefers to let his actions do the talking most of the time. And those actions demonstrate his commitment to service every day through the venue of athletics. No job is too big or too small – whatever needs to be done, Coach T gets it done. His example of servant-leadership for our students and staff is priceless. This award is well-deserved, and I am proud to call him my friend."
