Leadership Representative

Eligibility

A Beta interested in interviewing for a Regional Leadership Representative must be in good standing within the club, officially enrolled in National Beta and registered to attend and interview for the Regional Leadership Summit by the deadline. Reminder: There is a box with a drop down to select the name of the student to be interviewed. Failure to complete this step will result in the student not being able to interview.  

Representatives appointed at each regional summit are eligible to interview for the following positions: National Senior Leadership Ambassador (3), National Junior Leadership Ambassador (2) and National Elementary Leadership Ambassador (1).  

A club must have at least five students registered for the summit to have a student interview for Regional Leadership Representative. Only one student from each club may interview in a Beta calendar year. If selected as Leadership Representative, the student may not run for state office at the convention or the following year's convention.

1. One Elementary Leadership Representative, two Junior Leadership Representatives and three Senior Leadership Representatives will be selected and serve the following year.
2. If a representative is selected and later dropped from the local club or if the representative is not enrolled actively in school during the entire term, the representative forfeits the right to serve as a Leadership Representative.  It is imperative for the selected representative and or club sponsor to notify the National Office immediately if he/she is unable to serve.
