MIAA Launches New Web Site

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A new look has been unveiled for the MIAA as the conference has announced the launching of its new and enhanced Web site, hosted by PrestoSports.
 
"We are thrilled to launch the new site and the partnership with Presto," MIAA Commissioner Jim Johnson said.
 
The new site (www.themiaa.com) features a live scoreboard, new MIAA Facebook and Twitter pages and enhanced exposure for corporate partners of the MIAA. David Boyce, who wrote for the Kansas City Star for 21 years covering high schools, area colleges, the Royals, the Wizards and boxing, joined the MIAA this summer and his work will be showcased weekly on the site in the form of feature stories, game previews and game recaps.

The MIAA is committed to bringing the conference to life through new media opportunities. The enhanced Web site is the first step in this endeavor. Fans should look at the site as the "gathering place" to follow the MIAA and its member institutions.
 
"We want to add a more personal way for fans to follow league activities," Johnson said. "We feel we have accomplished this with the site's appearance along with the addition of David as the feature writer, the addition of the live scoreboard as well as the addition of Twitter and Facebook social media outlets. We will continue to enhance the site with video and other interactive components as we move forward."
