Aurora, IL – April 2007 – Scoutware, the collegiate athletic
industry leader in recruiting communications, was an exhibitor at the Women’s
Basketball Coaching Association convention held this month in Cleveland, Ohio.
The WBCA National Convention is held annually in conjunction with the
NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball National Championship, and has
become one of the marquee events centered around an action packed weekend
showcasing the best in women’s college basketball. 
As part of this year’s event, members of the Scoutware team not
only maintained an information booth, but for the first time ever, hosted
one-on-one and small group training sessions with several college coaches
and staff who currently use Scoutware as their recruiting communication
tool. Over the course of the four day long weekend, which included two
days at the Convention hall, Scoutware staff members conducted trainings
with more than twenty-five coaches.
“The WBCA Convention does a great job of bringing together coaches
for professional development and networking, and I thought it would be
a great opportunity to meet with our clients face-to-face to show them
exactly how they can use Scoutware to make a difference in their recruiting.
The overwhelming responses we received from coaches were extremely positive
and it was encouraging to see coaches excited about using Scoutware in
new ways,” noted staff member Kate Cronin, who used Scoutware herself
as an assistant coach at the University of Vermont.
Also as part of the weekend festivities, Scoutware President Jeff Murphy
along with staff members Amanda Carmichael, Kate Cronin, Robyn Danahy
and Jennifer Kick hosted a coaches’ reception Sunday night at the
Renaissance Hotel after the semi-final games, which was attended by over
seventy coaches and friends of Scoutware.
 Scoutware currently makes an impact with more than 100 women’s
college basketball programs including Final Four participant, the University
of North Carolina. In addition, Scoutware has been the preferred e-mail/communication
partner of the WBCA since 2006, and the WBCA is active in using Scoutware
to promote a variety of initiatives including: 'Think Pink,' the new WBCA
Superlatives program, as well as sending out its quarterly ‘Compliance
Corner’ e-newsletter and other press releases. For more information,
