Interested in Leadership?

Looking for a way to get more involved in our chapter? Do you have new ideas you'd like to see implemented? Are you confident speaking to small and large groups in-person and/or via social media? Are you creative? Are you organized? Have you held a leadership position in another organization?

If you said yes to any of these questions, a leadership position is for you!

• Think about your skills:

  • • Communication (verbal and nonverbal)

    • Organization

    • Time Management

    • Customer Service

    • Computer (spreadsheets, email, documents, presentation, social media, forms & databases, creative/artistic, etc...)

All officers must be National NSSLHA members!

• As a chapter, recognizing the hard work and efforts doesn't end at UCF! In fact, National NSSLHA recognizes chapters each year and awards eligible chapters, "Chapter Honors!" Each level: Bronze, Silver, and Gold requires a minimum percentage of its chapter to also maintain National Membership as well. National membership afford great advantages and discounts for undergrads and grads alike!

All officers must be able to commit an entire academic year to our chapter!

• Officers are appointed in April/May and will work with the exiting Executive Board to ensure a smooth transition, leadership training day, and summer Executive Board meetings that may take place on campus and/or via online teleconference meetings to prepare for the upcoming year.

• Officers can spend an average of 10-20 hours per week (varies based on events, activities, and time of the year) on NSSLHA business; prepare to commit a lot of time to our organization!

All officers must have been an active member of the chapter! Your dedication & participation to serve the Speech Language Hearing community with NSSLHA is an important facet of your dedication to serve and lead the chapter's 275+ members.

• Sign up for events, network & meet some of your fellow NSSLHA members, and more importantly meet the organizations and families in the Speech Language Hearing Community!

• Find events for organizations that work with the communities you want to learn more about!

• Try something new:

  • • Hearing Screenings are not just for Audiology-track members! They are really interesting and you will get a lot of experience each time!

• Go in with an open mind becuase volunteering is volunteering, not glory! We don't pick the jobs and duties at events, we are there to help organizations, coordinators, teachers, SLP's, Audiologists, etc... no matter what task needs to be done!
