ISCA nominated for PR News CSR Award for Corporate-Community Partnership
ISCA has been selected as a finalist in the PR News CSR Awards under the Corporate-Community Partnership category. The winner will be announced in Washington DC, USA, on 15 March. Meanwhile, the NowWeMOVE campaign narrowly missed out on a European Excellence Award in Stockholm in December, after having been shortlisted in the Sports and Lifestyle category among 4 other nominees including Adidas, Ericsson and eventual winner Kari Traa. The NowWeMOVE campaign was one of the few nominees across the award categories that did not use an external agency to assist in building their campaign. ISCA Secretary General Jacob Schouenborg said he was more than pleased with this achievement: “We are proud to be nominated and shortlisted out of 1300 entries overall and as one of only 5 organisations in this category.â€

New research builds on Good Governance in Grassroots Sport project
The results of ISCA’s Good Governance in Grassroots Sport project (GGGS) continue to have an impact on the global discussion on good governance in sport organisations operating at the community level, with a new article published on the topic in the Mykolas Romeris University and Kaunas University of Technology’s Public Policy and Administration Journal at the end of 2015. The GGGS project’s research experts, Simone Digennaro from the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, Dept. of Human Sciences, Italy, and Mark Lowther from Cardiff Metropolitan University, School of Sport, in Wales co-authored the paper, which underlines the importance of continuing to support community organisations in self-assessment and self-regulatory actions, and emphasises the value of the GGGS self-assessment tool in providing the framework for this.
