Sports Advisory Committee

Athletic directors who are members of the Wisconsin Athletic Directors Association (WADA), seven male and seven female, make up this 14-member committee. They are elected by their WADA peers in the same geographical areas as the Board members. They serve two-year terms. Their chief responsibility is to review and study requests of the coaches committees and make recommendations, which, thereafter, are reviewed by the Advisory Council then submitted to the Board of Control. The committee meets three times annually.
