Fans encouraged to share their vision in crafting the future of Drake athletics.

The Drake athletic department is currently soliciting new members of the Bulldogs' Fan Advisory Council for the 2020-21 season.

The Fan Advisory Council is in its third year and creates a forum for dialogue with supporters and department staff to enhance the fan experience and engage the Des Moines community. 

Members of the Fan Advisory Council offer insights on various departmental and gameday operations including fan experience, concessions, customer service, communications, ticketing and other athletic initiatives.

"The Fan Advisory Council has been an important tool for our department since its formation in 2018," said Drake director of athletics Brian Hardin. "The shared passion, knowledge and guidance this group has provided in those two years has substantially helped us improve the fan experience and explore creative avenues in our pursuit of becoming Des Moines' Hometown Team. I'm eager to collaborate with potential new members as we continue to drive Drake Athletics forward."
 
The Fan Advisory Council aims to create a diverse and representative panel of fans and supporters from various ages and backgrounds to provide insight and operational guidance to Drake athletics.

The Fan Advisory Council consists of 15 members who serve two-year terms on the council. Drake athletics is accepting new applications for the Fan Advisory Council May 7-31 with those selected to be notified by the end of June.

Fan Advisory Council will be asked to attend three full council meetings per year and serve on one of three Fan Advisory Council subcommittees focused on families, young professionals and community engagement.
