The SGA representative represents SOTA at all SGA meetings. This individual shares what we are doing in SOTA with SGA as well as brings SOTA back information about what is happening with SGA, on campus activities, etc. This person serves as the liason for our organization. It is critical that SOTA is represented at each SGA meeting held as this directly links us to the campus. Very important role!
