The purpose of the fall in-person meeting is for the Conference SAAC to review and discuss selected NCAA legislative proposals that have a direct impact on student-athlete well-being. Members will also have an opportunity to discuss other issues impacting them on campus, as well as activities of the Division I National SAAC.

The primary focus of the fall in-person meeting is to review and discuss NCAA proposed legislation that has an impact on student-athletes. Two to four weeks prior to this meeting, the Conference staff liaison will distribute selected NCAA legislative proposals to the Conference SAAC. Members are responsible for reviewing the legislation and soliciting for student-athlete feedback on their respective campuses prior to the in-person meeting. Each institution is required to complete a legislative voting chart to document the institution's position on each proposal. Then the legislative proposals are discussed at the November meeting and a final vote is taken to formulate a conference position.

The dates of the meeting will be determined at the beginning of each academic year. The two Conference SAAC members from each institution are required to attend. In the event that a member is unable to participate due to extenuating circumstances, the student-athlete should notify the Conference staff liaison and their institution of the anticipated absence. Requests to allow substitutes to participate in a committee member's absence should be submitted to the Conference staff liaison in advance of the meeting and will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
