Read all about it! December WAMIA is here!!! Read all about it!
Interested in serving as a Regional Officer in 2012-2013?
Here's the opportunity and application you've been waiting for
DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17!
NOTE: The regional team and I have heard repeatedly that the reason chapters cannot afford students to serve as Regional Officers is because of the cost associated and the lack of funds and support from the college. In order to provide more opportunities for our regional members, we’ve taken a hard look at our financial situation and have formulated a plan to assist with this challenge. Beginning this election term (as of Sunday, March 4, 2012), the Greater Northwest Region will provide up to $5000 for travel related expenses per Regional Officer. For example, this would include registration, travel, and lodging for International Convention in April 2012, Honors Institute in June 2012, Summer Conference in August 2012, Fall District Conference in September/October 2012, Spring Regional Conference in March 2013, and International Convention in March 2013. The only cost for the Regional Officer would be food per diem which could be covered by the individual officer and/or chapter. With this new plan, we have extended the deadline for regional officer applications.
Remember the Joan Fedor Alumni Scholarship! Application due Friday, February 17 - find it under the "Alumni" tab.
