Dream 13 Kappa Leaguers Kickoff a Weekend of Learning & Professional Development at NBA Headquarters

The Dream 13 Kappa League program had a full weekend of leadership and development activities, including a visit to the National Basketball Association (NBA) Commissioner’s Office to meet NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum, and a Career Day to learn about career opportunities in professional sports beyond the court and the professional lives of Brothers from Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated.

The Commissioner’s Office visit took place on Friday, November, 10th, in New York City at the NBA Headquarters. The NBA staff provided a tour of the office; a presentation of the business side of the NBA, and held a panel discussion about their career pathways and direct experiences working at the NBA Head Office. The highlight of the tour was a Q&A session with Mark Tatum, where the Kappa Leaguers learned about his career and important steps that assisted him in earning the role of Deputy Commissioner of the NBA.

The Dream 13 Kappa League held a Career Day on Sunday, November, 12th, at the Dover Public Library, where 10 Brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi shared their current job and previous work experience. Each Kappa member provided key lessons that helped them along their way and answered questions posed by the Kappa Leaguers. There was an array of job fields presented including Social Work, Fraud Investigation, Computer Science, Human Resources, Education, Military, Aerospace Engineering, Sales, and Marketing. As the Dream 13 Kappa League moves forward this year, members of Kappa Alpha Psi look forward to helping the Kappa Leaguers apply the leadership skills discussed to assist them in any field they desire to pursue.
