Here is more on what the SEC Student Athlete Leadership Council does per UGA Athletics 

“The SEC Student-Athlete Leadership Council provides an opportunity for SEC student-athletes to engage with campus leaders and conference office staff. Leadership Councils for football and men's and women's basketball, along with SAAC, provide a conduit of communication to the conference office on issues related to student-athlete experience, student-athlete wellness, and playing rules.”

Allen has already represented the Bulldogs at SEC’s Football Leadership Council earlier in the year He’s continued to explore his community efforts, being a member of the Student Athlete Leadership Academy (LEAD). His community continues to remain a focal point of what he does, and advocating for them is a big in what Allen does off the field. 

Allen will get a chance to hear presentations from DeLaina Sarden of Parker Executive Search Firm and a representative of Akin Gump on how student-athletes can use current opportunities to prepare for success after their sports careers are over.
