How are regional councilors selected?
Article VI, Section 5 of the national Bylaws, provide for five regional councilors to be chosen annually from five eligible geographic regions. In the fall the National Office notifies its members, the local NSSLHA chapters, and the ASHA-recognized racial and ethnic minority caucuses of an opening for a new regional councilor. Interested applicants have until February 10 to submit an application, letter of interest, one letter of recommendation from a faculty member, and one letter of recommendation from a student. The NSSLHA Executive Council reviews all applications at its annual spring meeting and chooses one student from each of the geographic regions to become the new regional councilor for that region. All applicants are notified of the outcome no later than June 1.
