BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (September 13, 2019) — The Southeastern Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Leadership Council will convene for its annual meeting at SEC headquarters Friday and Saturday.

The council consists of one male representative and one female representative from each of the SEC’s 14 institutions. The goal of the Leadership Council is for student-athletes to serve as a conduit of communication from their teams to the conference office on issues related to student-athlete experience, student-athlete wellness, and to provide feedback on proposed rules governing the SEC and NCAA.

Among the agenda items for the group is dinner and a conversation with Commissioner Greg Sankey, a review of NCAA and SEC legislative items, and the 28 student-athletes will also have an opportunity to engage with men’s and women’s basketball officials on rules of the game, student-athlete/referee interaction and careers in officiating. Keyon Dooling, author, motivational speaker and former NBA player, will speak to the group on Saturday on the topic of mental wellness.

The Men’s Basketball Leadership Council and the Women’s Basketball Leadership Council comprise two components of the SEC Student-Athlete Leadership Council. The third component is the Football Leadership Council, which meets each January.

The student-athletes who comprise the SEC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Leadership Council are:
