Officer Positions available

Each year we seek enthusiastic, dedicated, leaders for our organization. We will be selecting officers for the 2008-2009 year and will begin "on the job training" in the spring. Both the current and future officer teams will work together starting in March to plan Scholarship, Leadership, and Service events in April. We would like students who are interested in being officers to attend either the Regional Convention in Kansas City (February 29-March 2) or International Convention in Philadelpha, PA (April 1-6). If you are interested in attending, fundraising will be available throughout the spring to help cover your registration, transportation, and hotel costs.

 

Members will be able to attend one of the following conferences during the 2007-2008 year. Each new member attending will get a $25 discount on the registration cost (meaning that the registration fee will be free or at a much reduced cost to each member.
