Thought Leaders: Episode 15 with Drew Martin
Drew Martin, Executive Senior Associate AD for External Affairs at the University of Texas, sees every challenge as an opportunity, and this year has been chock-full of opportunities. The key to preparing for the 2020 football season has been open lines of communications internally, personal outreach to fans, and sharing best practices within the football community during these unchartered times. Drew discusses what works well at games, like fan cutouts, plus some improvement areas.
