Run for Office to Represent Your Area on the BACCHUS Initiatives Student Advisory Committee

SAC Description Students wishing to take an active role in the leadership of the BACCHUS Initiatives of NASPA may run for positions on the Student Advisory Committee (SAC). The SAC works with the SAC Directors to build cohesion among affiliates, to gather information about affiliate activities for publication in regional and national BACCHUS materials, and to promote student interests in the actions of the BACCHUS Initiatives.

There is an SAC representative elected to represent each of the twelve regional Areas. SAC members will travel to a designated city during the early months of their terms for training. SAC members will also travel to the annual General Assembly in the fall. Travel expenses are covered for both trips. It is also required that the SAC representative attend their Area Spring Conference prior to the end of their term in office.
