In 2013 the Cascade Collegiate Conference established a Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) program. Each institution selects two committed student-athletes to assist the Conference in order to perpetuate a positive student-athlete experience. Committee members must be at least sophomore class status and eligible for competition. In 2023 the SAAC name was offically changed to the Association of Student Athletes (ASA) to better align with the national ASA and more accuarately reflect the growth of the group.
Mission Statement: As the CCC Association of Student Athletes we bridge the gap between our communities and the administration by advocating for our peers while promoting opportunities, protecting student-athlete welfare, and their experiences.
The CCC ASA serves the following functions:
- Discuss and provide feedback on conference issues affecting student-athlete welfare
- Assist in educating student athletes about CCC/NAIA issues on their home campus
- Increase and improve student-athletes' understanding of the CCC and NAIA Legislative process
- Promote student-athlete participation in department wide Champions of Character programs
- Provide a forum for addressing student-athlete concerns
