How to Join the NSLS Without an Invitation

If you did not receive an invitation to join the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS), you can still apply for membership through a self-nomination process. This opportunity allows potential members to showcase their leadership potential and join the NSLS community, even without a direct invitation.

Self-Nomination Process

To begin the self-nomination process, follow these steps:

  1. Submit a Nomination Request: Complete the online nomination application form. You will need to request a nomination from at least one faculty member, though it is advisable to ask up to three faculty members to ensure timely responses and avoid potential issues with emails being caught in spam filters.
  2. Personalize Your Requests: Make each nomination request personal and clear, so the faculty members understand it is coming from you.
  3. Monitor Your Application: Log back into the application portal within a few days to check the status of your nomination. Faculty members will receive an email from you requesting their nomination and asking for their reflections on your leadership potential.

Approval Process

Once a faculty member nominates you, your application and nomination are forwarded to your on-campus Chapter Advisor for further evaluation. If your Chapter Advisor approves your membership, you will receive an email notification with a nomination code. This code will allow you to join the NSLS and become a pre-inducted member. You will also receive log-in information to check the status of your application online.

Additional Information

You can contact the National Office if you have any questions about the nomination process or need assistance. If you are unsure who your local Chapter Advisor is, the National Office can also provide this information. Good luck with your candidacy!
