My region has seven States within and four students out of all seven states were selected. It was an honor being involved. We had meetings on zoom ever two weeks which gave me the ability to meet people from across the country and communicate with them on growth and goal setting. We then would have tournaments in person 3-6 tournaments second semester. My fellow SAC members and I got to help our National Director by planning fun things for students to do, and helping lead them and encourage them throughout the year. We had to give many speeches on the spot and be a role model for other students . When our National Director needed someone to pray or help with a random task she would choose one of us. It gave me a responsibility to attend meetings, encourage others, and be on call any chance I got to help. I also became great friends with many students, even over zoom.
