Making Members Our Priority

Our first priority for our newly created chapter was

finding a way to connect with you, our members! On

October 6th, a survey will be sent out to all chapter

members to help us find out what matters most to you

in reference to your membership. Please make sure

you provide your feedback. Your participation will

help us bring you the most for your membership.

The survey will run until October 24th. The officer

team will take your feedback to implement our chapter

strategy for the remainder of the school year. Thank

you for allowing us this opportunity to enhance your

membership experience.

From the Chapter President

Hello Members! I am so excited to

bring you our very first edition of the

NSCS@SHNU-Online Insider. Each

month, your chapter officers will bring

you updates, news, and more. Our

chapter was officially formed in late

August 2014 and I can tell you that you

have a great group of officers

representing you, our members! In

September, we immediately began

working for you. Through

collaboration, we have created a

strategy for the 2014-15 school year

and look forward to sharing it all with

you!
