The SAB explores and recommends strategies for engaging collegiate members in circle activities, circle leadership, the National Leadership Conference, and other volunteer roles outside of service on the Board of Trustees or committees. In addition, the SAB is responsible for advocating for the student perspective in the discussions regarding communications, policies, and procedures. The Student Advisory Board also works with the National Leadership Conference Planning Team to offer a conference program related to its mission. The SAB holds online forums twice a year.
