Student Athlete Advisory Committee re-established, seeking nominations
The FHSAA would like to extend the opportunity for student-athletes in member schools to participate as part of the FHSAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. The purpose of the committee will be to provide a voice for student-athletes within the FHSAA governance structure, in the following areas:
- Current issues facing student-athletes
- Input regarding rules and regulations
- Input on FHSAA special initiatives (e.g., sportsmanship campaign)
- Promotion of a positive image of the student-athlete.
The 16-member statewide committee will meet once or twice annually at the Robert W. Hughes FHSAA Building in Gainesville. A student’s participation would involve a trip to the meeting, accompanied by a chaperone. Expenses (e.g. mileage, lodging, per diem) will be paid as outlined in the FHSAA travel reimbursement policy.
Please review the nomination form below and select two student-athletes (one male and one female) in your school who have an interest in serving on the committee. The FHSAA is interested in applicants who possess the following qualities:
- Must be an active student-athlete participating in at least one FHSAA-sanctioned sport;
- Must be a sophomore (rising junior) or junior (rising senior) in good academic and disciplinary standing;
- Must show a commitment toward representing the interests of all student-athletes;
- Must display strong character and commitment to sportsmanship and integrity; and
