Mid-year membership reviews.

NHS advisors are auditing your service hours for the first semester. IF you do not have at least 20 hours submitted, you will be placed in probationary status. If you complete the required 40 hours by May 19, 2023 you will automatically be placed in good standing.

With first half of the school year drawing to a close, many advisers plan to review members’ compliance with the chapter’s membership obligations. This mid-year review can include a check of members’ cumulative GPA, service hours, and other chapter obligations. Per Article VI, Section 3, of the NHS and NJHS, “the chapter adviser shall regularly review each member for compliance with Society standards and obligations.” This is also an opportunity to remind members of upcoming deadlines, projects and to generally check in on members. Reminder: There is no reapplication for membership, so compliance checks or mid-year reviews are not to be confused with conducting a new selection process and induction, and members cannot be removed from membership without due process. More detail is available on these topics in the Adviser Resource Centers on the NHS and NJHS websites, including sample documents and training videos.
