Leadership Committee 2014-2015

      Leadership Committee

Leadership is one of the vital pillars of NHS, so the LC is a great way for members to demonstrate their great abilities to the community and the club. Every pool of the LC can only have 5 members per month; therefore, whatever month you are assigned to, you and your peers must look for a service for your designated month. At least 3/5 or half the leaders must attend the service. (In addition, the leaders will be in charge of the sign-in/sign-out sheet at the event)
The leaders will be awarded one additional hour for their help. 

*When your committee officially settles the event with the coordinator, please message all the info to the Public Relation (Eric Thai) so that he can post it up on blogspot.

We are excited to work and make memories with you all in the near future. Keep achieving, newly inductees! 

- National Honors Society Cabinet 2014-15                       

Ps. Stay updated on the Facebook group and this blogspot about new services, meetings, hour requirements, and many more.

P.s.s. There will be an Induction ceremony for all the new members in a couple of weeks. Keep checking up on the sites to see new information about it. 

2014-2015 Rules

Established Rules

Requirements:

1. You must have a minimum weighted GPA of 3.5 (AP and Honors extra point counts toward GPA) 
2. All general members must have at least 25 hours completed (1st and 2nd Semester). Seniors must complete their reduced 12.5 hour requirement (2nd Semester.) Lastly, half or less of your requirement hours can be outside hours.
3. All new members must have at least 10 hours completed. (1st semester) All new members will be consider general members during 2nd semester of this school year.
4. This semester, all general members must attend to at least 4 meetings starting from Friday, Sept. 5th, until semester 1 ends. NHS will conduct 7 meetings in total during 1st semester. All new members must attend 3 meetings starting on Friday Oct. 17th, until semester 1 ends which are only 4 meetings. (You are exempt from meetings if you have a valid excuse. E.g. Peer counseling or other Friday cabinet meetings. Be sure to notify Secretary Shayna Quach)
5. During the end of the semester, every member must re-apply. Members must fill out the designated form for that particular semester (Ask Secretary for help) and must staple a copy of their recent semester's report card. 

Services:

1. If a member (must also be a volunteer)  drives a minimum of 3 NHS volunteers to an event, the driver will earn an extra hour. (No parent/guardian/non-member can help a member earn the extra hour.) 
2. You may sign up or omit yourself from an event before the deadline date (Stated on every post) 
3. If you are signed up and fail to show up, you will be deducted 1 hour.
4. You must arrive to the service on time and stay until the the service ends (In case of an emergency, you must notify the attending officer/leader before leaving) 
5. Everyone must sign in and sign out of every service. No record of your presence will result in a deduction an hour. 
6. No double-dipping. If you are signed up with NHS and another club for the same service, and you attempt to gain hours for both, you will face further ramifications. 
7. Outside hours from previous semester shall not be included in the current semester's hours

Face Probation:

1. One fails to meet all the requirements (That means all hours, meeting, and GPA requirements) 
2. One earns a D or an F on final semester report card
3. One earns a U as a citizenship grade on final semester report card 
4. One attends a service and sneaks out of the service early without notifying an officer 

If one is placed on probation at least once, one will be ineligible for a stole and and unqualified to run for NHS cabinet. There is no way to repeal a member's probation. 

Advantages:

1. A 6 (consecutive) semester NHS member who is never placed on probation will earn a graduation stole. 
2. National Honors Society is a nationally well-known organization. Be proud that you are helping the community and be blessed that you'll be strengthening your abilities as you encounter more favorable chances to benefit  the world.
