UGA Deputy Athletic Director Darrice Griffin and Equestrian Head Coach Meghan Boenig have been named members of the inaugural SEC Council on Racial Equity and Social Justice, according to an announcement by the league office Thursday in Birmingham.
The Council’s mission will be to identify resources, outline strategies and assist with the implementation of efforts that, when taken together, will promote racial equity and social justice, while also fostering diversity, helping overcome racism and pursuing non-discrimination in intercollegiate athletics.
Members of the Council include a league-wide body consisting of a diverse group of coaches, administrators and SEC staff, as well as individuals from within the SEC’s existing student-athlete engagement program.
