CHAMPIONS OF CHARACTER
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' Champions of Character program provides training to ensure student-athletes know, do and value the right things in all areas of life. The five core values: Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Sportsmanship and Servant leadership are put into play, accounted for and tracked at all NAIA schools.
The California Pacific Conference - noted as a "Conference of Character" annually for nearly two decades - supports its member institutions' campus programs that include the Champions of Character Live 5 Student-Athlete Orientation Program and the NAIA's Character-Driven Coaching professional development course for coaches and administrators.

- Ongoing character education and professional development for Conference coaches, athletics administrative staff and student-athletes
- Hospitality and game management of Conference athletics events
- Organization of a Champions of Character Conference wide event (i.e Sport Summit or Servant Leadership Project)
- Recognition of Conference athletics directors, coaches and student-athletes who demonstrate outstanding character
- Ongoing oversight and assessment of progress in the prgram's implementation by both California Pacific Conference and the NAIA.
