HONOR SOCIETY CHAPTERS
Dear KANHS Chapters,
Welcome back! The
KANHS Executive Board met on September 12, 2009 at the Executive West
Hotel/Crowne Plaza in Louisville to plan this year’s convention.
We urge you to send a delegation to the convention
February
22-24, 2010 to expand your network of NHS
peers in the Commonwealth and share your skills, projects, talents and
ideas. Convention delegates will develop
a more thorough understanding and appreciation of the essential characteristics
of NHS:
Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character.
Approximately 120
colleges and universities have been invited to our College Fair and the
response has been excellent so far. Our
College Fair provides an exceptional opportunity to network with
representatives of the top schools!
Furthermore, you will
have the opportunity to hear guest speakers and participate in several
competitions and workshops that will enhance your leadership skills. The development of your leadership skills is
the foundation upon which you, the Commonwealth’s greatest resource, will lead
us well into the twenty-first century.

CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE
(Due January 15, 2010)
At
each convention we elect a President, Vice President, and Secretary to serve for the following year. While each officer has a special role to fill, the overall goal of each KANHS
officer is to promote the development of the Kentucky Association of National
Honor Societies. They also share the large responsibility of planning and organizing the
convention along with the rest of the Executive Board.
The
job of a KANHS officer takes very much time and effort and should not be taken lightly. A
STUDENT OFFICER AND HIS SPONSOR ARE EXPECTED TO
ATTEND ALL EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETINGS, WHICH ARE HELD ON SATURDAYS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. THE SPONSOR OF THE PRESIDENT WILL SERVE ON THE EXECUTIVE
BOARD FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS. The sponsors of the Vice-President and Secretary will
serve a one-year term. In addition to
attending all Executive Board meetings, the responsibilities of the officers
are as follows:
PRESIDENT
·
Organize and coordinate all phases of the college fair from beginning
to end
·
Set up the convention room
·
Preside at
the convention
VICE PRESIDENT
·
Perform the duties of the president in the absence
or incapacity of
the
president
·
Membership
·
Publicity
·
Assist the president
• State Service
Project
SECRETARY
·
Keep records of all Executive Board meetings
·
Send minutes of all Executive Board meetings to all
board members
·
Send notices and confirmation of all Executive
Board meetings to all board members
·
Organize and coordinate the Variety Show
·
Assist the president
Although
being
an officer
is very demanding, it is very
rewarding to participate in the work that goes on behind the scenes.
We encourage your chapter to consider the opportunity for NHS
leadership at the state level.
CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE (CONTINUED)
Every
school is permitted to enter only one candidate for office.
Each

OVERALL CONVENTION INFORMATION
(CONTINUED)
·
As sponsor of a candidate for office, you will be
expected to sign a commitment form stating that you agree to
accompany your student to all board meetings, which
are held on Saturday during the school year. Your attendance will be REQUIRED
at all
board
meetings
to insure a well-organized convention for next year. Needless to say, do not permit a student to run for office if you and the
student are unable to attend these meetings.
The fact that not all sponsors have complied with this
required commitment in the past has been the cause of some unnecessary problems for the Executive
Board. This creates an unfortunate
situation for
the
student officer as well. The principal
of any
school
who enters a candidate for office will be asked to guarantee that an
official school sponsor will accompany the student to all board meetings if the student is elected.
