SASES Officers

National Officers and Advisors

Officers are elected annually by undergraduate student members and delegates from participating SASES clubs at CANVAS (formerly known as the ASA, SSSA, and CSSA Annual Meeting). They each serve a one-year term. The officers meet virtually every month to discuss the SASES program. They accept new clubs into SASES, find and book keynote speakers for the Annual Meeting, determine the host school of the Spring Meeting, and are always working to enhance the undergraduate student member experience. Officers may also collaborate on other projects of their choosing. The Society staff and Undergraduate Advisory Committee support and assist the National Officers.
