The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference announces its new five-year strategic and long-range plan that will guide the conference through 2027.

The plan, approved by the MEAC Council of Chief Executive Officers, provides a new set of goals and focus points to ensure the sustainability of the MEAC and opportunities for growth for years to come.

“I am pleased with the work done by the Strategic and Long-Range Planning Committee,” MEAC Commissioner Sonja Stills said. “Their efforts resulted in a viable plan that took the current state of the conference under consideration, and they did an excellent job of setting goals to chart a new course for the conference. The plan is a shared vision for the conference and its member institutions and I look forward to its execution and the success that will come as a result.”

“The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference stands as a premier NCAA FCS Division I member with an elite collection of marquee institutions representing highly skilled student-athletes,” Dr. Carray Banks, Norfolk State University Faculty Athletics Representative and MEAC Strategic and Long-Range Planning Committee Chair said. “The work of the Strategic and Long-Range Planning Committee embodies a comprehensive assessment of the conference. It addresses the core values of our membership and places the MEAC on a trajectory for sustainable growth.”
