Today marks the beginning of the fifth-annual @CoSIDAnews Member Recognition Week.

This year, we want to celebrate the hard-working, dedicated people in The Valley who don't get enough thanks for all that they do.

So, what is an SID?

Here are some job titles you might see

Okay... but what does that MEAN?

@CoSIDAnews put together an extensive list of just *some* of the responsibilities of those in the field, but we promise they do A LOT more.

We have some of the best SIDs in the country

Here's a look at some of the most humble professionals around our league
