SACAC Special Interest Groups (SIGs) nurture diversity in our association by providing “micro” communities within which members can network and add value to their SACAC membership experience. These smaller group meetings allow knowledge sharing and discussion among members with similar professional roles, interests, affinities or issues.
It’s easy to get involved in a Special Interest Group. SIGs meet in person during the annual conference, and many SIGs wishing to stay connected throughout the year meet virtually in late May, early December, and February. These opportunities are advertised on the SACAC website calendar and announced in “What’s Coming Wednesday” communication sent directly to SACAC members.
