Assistant Director Program
SAS Assistant Director Program
What is it?
The AD Program is a way for underclassmen to get more involved with SAS. As an AD member, you will help plan new events and philanthropic projects while working closely with the SAS Executive Board and firm professionals. It is a great leadership experience that will provide you with additional networking and face-to-face time opportunities with professionals as well as a chance to learn more about the accounting field.
In the past AD members have redesigned the SAS brand; designed, ordered, and distributed t-shirts for 400 SAS members; planned a tutoring program for Economics and Management classes; and conducted research on book library systems. New AD members will continue some of these initiatives as well as plan their own events and programs to benefit the SAS community. They will also assist executive board officers with annual SAS events and see what goes behind the scenes behind some of the biggest events SAS hosts including Midtier Madness, Spring Banquet, and Meet the Firms. Past AD members have gone on to become SAS Officers the next year.
