About Ad Hoc Committees

Sometimes there's an issue, idea, project, or cause that doesn't "fit" within the GSL, NSDA, MSHSAA, SLUDL, NCFL, or STAM leadership.  When these arise, our community creates "ad hoc committees" to study or work on a project over a span of time.  Membership on an ad hoc committee is open to any coach at any time -- which then naturally forms groups of people who deeply care about a particular topic.  Ad hocs report their work at the Fall and Spring all-coaches' meetings so the entire community stays in the loop!
