Want to provide national leadership to PHR’s National Student Program? Apply to join the PHR Student Advisory Board (SAB)!

The SAB is a national board of 7 or 8 students. The role of a Student Advisory Board member is:

1. to serve as a liaison to student chapters within a certain geographic region, and
2. to provide strategic and operational advice to the mission and direction of the National Student Program.

An SAB member is expected to be engaged in the development of the Student Program by completing his/her assigned duties, maintaining open lines of communication, and actively seeking areas for improvement in the National Program. These expectations include:

1. attendance at a Student Advisory Board retreat in early July,
2. attendance and involvement in the Student National Conference in early 2011, and
3. participation in monthly conference calls (with a maximum of three missed over the course of the year).

Please apply only if you feel you can meet these commitments. Other leadership roles are available for students who are not on the SAB, including Regional Mentors.

The application must be submitted to phr.sab[at]gmail[dot]com no later than Tuesday, March 29, 2010. Those selected for an interview will be contacted by Friday, April 2. Interviews will take place by phone or in person.

Please consider applying to the SAB. Your leadership can shape the course of PHR’s National Student Program.
