Elon: CAA Announces Members of CAA Family – United for Change Executive Committee

RICHMOND, Va. – The Colonial Athletic Association has announced the 14 members of the CAA Family – United For Change Executive Committee, a newly formed group tasked with addressing the critical issues of racial and social injustice.

The diverse committee includes representatives from all 10 CAA institutions and is made up of six athletics administrators, four coaches and four student-athletes. The committee will develop a strategic direction for the conference, and will provide an opportunity for institutions to share resources related to anti-racism and social justice efforts. Among the goals will be engaging student-athletes, coaches, staff and alumni in conference-wide initiatives that will help enact meaningful change.

The committee will meet for the first time later this month, where it will elect a chairperson, establish a mission statement and determine the best path to move forward.
