ORLANDO, Fla. - UCF Athletics is unveiling a new and exciting program that will forever change how the athletics department interacts with its Golden Knights Club members, as well as other friends of the program. It is called the Golden Knights Club Representative Program ("GKC Rep Program" for short) and the GKC is actively searching its membership for new "reps" who will receive key contact with UCF Athletics coaches and staff and receive public recognition.
The GKC Rep Program is a new initiative that will enable UCF Athletics to enhance relationships with GKC donors and others. The program will assist UCF Athletics by engaging UCF alumni and supporters who reside in the state of Florida, as well as the over 4,000 present members of the Golden Knights Club.
The program will inform and service current supporters by enlisting a team of volunteers who will help the athletics department with a variety of uplifting activities in their local area. The program will encompass 14 regions, or divisions, across the state of Florida. Within each division, reps will build relationships with supporters of UCF Athletics, provide a link to the University and UCF Athletics, and play a key role in building athletics' successful future.
This new program will provide its participants with the opportunity to serve as an ambassador for the GKC at all times, presenting a positive attitude and face for UCF Athletics in their home regions. Reps will be local ambassadors for the Knights by identifying new potential ticket holders and assisting with Golden Knights Club membership renewals.
Reps will also gain special insight into the department, participate in special social events and have a chance to win valuable prizes. They will receive key contact with UCF Athletics coaches and staff and receive public recognition at home football and basketball games along with recognition in those sports' game programs and official UCF apparel.
The reps will be responsible for building a personal connection with UCF supporters in their region by contacting them throughout the year, renewing and/or upgrading their fellow GKC members, forwarding information about events, tickets and news updates while also reporting their problems, concerns and ideas to the GKC. They will also look to attract new members from their areas, recommend others to serve as reps and help improve the UCF Athletics database with information on prospects, missing alumni and others from their respective districts.
At this time the department is recruiting representatives for upcoming activities. To learn more, contact the GKC Office at (407) 823-2086 or visit UCFAthletics.com.
