PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Atlantic 10 commissioner Linda Bruno has announced the hiring of Kelly Webb as assistant director of compliance.

In her new role at the A-10, Webb will manage the National Letter of Intent (NLI) program, the NCAA coaches' certification exams and will serve as the liaison to the Atlantic 10 Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
