Men's basketball player Brown named to national Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
Article By: Clark Leonard
University of North Georgia (51³Ô¹ÏÍø) men's basketball player was recently appointed to the NCAA Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).
This nationwide, highly selective committee includes members from every Division II conference. Brown will represent the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) for a nonrenewable three-year term.
"I look forward to seeing Zach take on this new role and implement his leadership skills as he has always represented 51³Ô¹ÏÍø with class and integrity," said Lindsay Reeves, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø director of athletics. "And I know he will do the same for the Peach Belt Conference at the national level."
Brown, a redshirt junior from Princeton, New Jersey, just finished up his first year in a Nighthawk uniform, averaging 8.2 points per contest. He scored in double figures 13 times, including a season-best 20-point outing at Southern Wesleyan. After serving as a member of SAAC at his previous school (Hartford), Brown now serves as treasurer on 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's SAAC Executive Board.
The SAAC serves as the primary governance arm representing student-athlete interests in Division II affairs.
Brown has already taken part in a SAAC initiative that encourages student-athletes to register to vote.
"This is a wonderful leadership and learning opportunity for me, as well as an opportunity for me to make a real impact on student-athletes across the country and hopefully create positive change," Brown said.
