Vacant Positions


Dear Golden Key Members;
            We are looking for a few good men and women that would like to be a part of the executive board for this great chapter. Do you have the desire to be involved in an extracurricular?
This chapter has been and is involved in many charities providing volunteerism, community outreach, literacy and academics to name a few. We also provide our members with another way to be involved in their school in an online environment. How do you want to help others?
Today's job market is ultra-competitive and landing that new job or getting ahead at your old one is not as easy as it used to be. Companies want to see more than just a degree. A leadership position could be that competitive edge you need. Are you a leader?
If you answered yes to these questions then submit a statement for consideration for an executive board position for the Kaplan University Chapter of Golden Key. We currently are looking to fill the Membership Chair, Finance Chair and the Activities Chair positions.
These are interim positions that will end on March 15, 2013 and you must be an active student at Kaplan for that period.  We will be holding open elections for all executive board positions in February with the new officers taking their positions on March 1, 2013.  Accepting an interim position now would not disqualify anyone from running in the next election. 
If you would like to apply for one of the vacant positions please do so no later than November 10, 2012.  The executive board will make their decisions on or about November 14, 2012.  Your submission should include your major, GPA, and why you feel you would be the best person for each particular position.  We will also accept video submissions but there is no extra weight given for a video submission.  For the description of the vacant positions please see the attached file.
Thank you all for your interest and good luck!
George Pammer, President
Kaplan University Chapter
Golden Key Honor Society
