Search On for New Executive Secretary, Nuntius Editor |
|
|
In response to the decision of the current executive secretary, C. Wayne Tucker,
to retire from the position in the near future, the Board of Trustees has
decided to separate the positions of executive secretary and editor of Nuntius
and to begin the search for people to fill the positions. The executive secretary conducts most of the day-to-day business of the Society with the direction of the Board of Trustees. Among regular responsibilities are receiving the Reports on Initiates, recording the initiaitions, sending membership cards, and ordering certificates; responding to inquiries concerning the Society; sending out forms for petitions for new chapters and receiving the petitions for mailing to the officers; organizing, in association with the host chapter, the national convention; maintaining records of receipts and disbursements of the operating fund; sending to chapter advisers |
the annual fall mailing, which includes forms for the Report on Initiates and
the Annual Report, and announcements of the summer scholarships and the
convention; sending the announcement of the translation contests; handling the
sale of honor cords; and in general maintaining the records of the Society. The editor of Nuntius is responsible for producing two issues, one in the fall containing the reports of the summer scholarship recipients, and one in the spring with the reports on the convention and chapter activities, among other information. Anyone interested in either of the positions should send a letter outlining his or her interest and past contributions to Eta Sima Phi to the chair of the Board of Trustee, Sister Thérèese Marie Dougherty, College of Notre Dame of Maryland, 4701 N. Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21210. |
