Georgia Gwinnett College’s Potter Named 2024-2025 CAC Athletic Director of the Year

Georgia Gwinnett College Executive Athletics Director Dr. Ian Potter has been named the Continental Athletic Conference's Athletic Director of the Year for the 2024-25 athletic season.

Potter completed his first season leading the Grizzlies after being associated with the Office of Athletics since its inaugural season in 2012-13. He manages a budget of approximately $4 million for the Office of Athletics and supervises a department with more than 30 coaches and staff members.  

During the 2024-25 athletic season, all six of GGC's teams competed in the NAIA national tournament, the women's tennis team won the program's ninth straight NAIA national championship, and three teams captured conference championships.

In Fall 2024, Potter launched and directed GGC Athletics' first crowdfunding campaign, raising more than $65,000 to support student-athlete scholarships, facility enhancements, and the overall student-athlete experience. He also secured more than $80,000 in corporate sponsorships and increased membership in the office's Grizzly Club.

Academically, GGC Athletics achieved a department-wide record 3.34 grade-point average for the spring 2025 semester and a 3.27 overall GPA for the 2024-25 academic year. A total of 165 student-athletes earned AD Honor Roll academic honors, with 52 making the Dean's List and 43 were named to the President's List. Twenty-eight student-athletes were honored as NAIA Daktronics Scholar-Athletes at the conclusion of the spring 2025 season. Six student-athletes were named Academic All-Americans by the College Sports Communicators during the athletic year.

Potter currently serves as president of the CAC Executive Committee and serves as the conference's Compliance Eligibility Chair. He contributes to several task forces for the NAIA and recently shared his expertise as a panelist for two sessions at the 2025 NAIA National Convention in San Diego.
