Sailor Athlete Council
US SAILING, the National Governing Body of sailing, has established the
Sailor Athlete Council, SAC. The mission of the SAC is to maintain an avenue
for sailor athletes in US SAILING to voice their opinions, and to provide a
forum and opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the future and
direction of our sport.
The U. S. Olympic Committee and the Amateur Sports Act have mandated that each of the Olympic sports must have twenty percent athlete representation on the Board of Directors and certain designated committees, which make up that sport's national governing body.
The SAC, while created due to an Olympic Committee mandate, has been established to represent all of the active racing community. Elections are held every two years to determine the council members.
All US SAILING members designated as sailor athletes are encouraged to vote. The council is comprised of sailors who meet the definition of an A Level or B Level Sailor-Athlete.
