The NACAC Athletes’ Commission is in the process of developing itself by reaching out to athletes across the entire area, being fully aware that many athletes have not been made sufficiently knowledgeable of its existence.
The Commission wants athletes to be more knowledgeable about how it must become their organization, their forum through which they are informed about all that is happening in World Athletics, and their collective voice, influencing the decision-making process at the highest level of NACAC and ultimately, of World Athletics.
NACAC is undeniably one the most powerful athletics Area and this, because of the incredible performances of its athletes, extremely well prepared by their coaches.
The NACAC Athletes’ Commission Information Session, will begin by allowing President Mike Sands to welcome participants before going into a focus on ‘Who are we?’, allowing the athletes to introduce themselves and their understanding of why they are important to our sport as well as why the Commission is critical to their influencing the decision-making process.
Representatives of the World Athletics Athletes Commission will then explain who they are and what they do.
Then, representatives of the World Athletics Athletes’ Integrity Unit (AIU) will inform all athletes in attendance of the organization’s role and function.
