The SCAC is in a position of strength heading in 2024

Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Commissioner Dwayne Hanberry has witnessed a lot of movement throughout NCAA Division III since he began working for the conference as an intern in 1995. Hanberry became the SCAC’s first full-time sports information director in 1997 before being promoted to assistant commissioner in 2000. He was promoted to associate commissioner in 2005 and served six months as interim commissioner before being named the second commissioner in the conference’s history in June 2008.

Hanberry is the longest-tenured employee in SCAC history, having spent 28 years with the league office. He is nearing his 17th year as commissioner and recently signed a five-year contract extension to remain with the SCAC through the 2027-2028 season.
