Friday, February 27, 2008 – FINISH MEMBERSHIP SELECTION

Every honor society must have finished their membership selection process. The local mailing address of new members and the home addresses of their parent/spouses must have been collected during the selection process.

 

Thursday, March 6, 2008 – MEMBERSHIP/PARENT INFORMATION DUE

Three Items are due.

Item 1 and 2 – An excel spreadsheet of the names and addresses of your new members and their parents/spouses. These spreadsheets are provided here. It is most important to fill out the form exactly as given. This information is cut and pasted into a main database so that duplicates can be detected. These spreadsheets are used to mail invitations to students and parents. If your Honor Society is initiating members from off campus use your judgment as to whether or not to include those students on the mailing list. Most likely you would not.

Name your spreadsheets using the groups initials. Follow this example. The spreadsheet of Alpha Lambda Delta members would be named ald members. The spreadsheet of Alpha Lambda Delta parents/spouses would be named ald parents. Email to bpatters@troy.edu by Thursday, March 6.

Member Spreadsheet [XLS]

Parent Spreadsheet [XLS]

Item 3 - An alphabetical list of your new members that will be printed in the Honors Convocation program. The list must be typed in Microsoft Word. The list must be first name first, then last name. For example “Jane Doe” not Doe, Jane. In the top right hand corner put the name of your honor society, the name of the individual announcing the members, with their e-mail and phone number. The list must be e-mailed to Bonnie Money in Creative Services, bmoney@troy.edu and insert committee member name, Chair of the Printed Program committee, Ed Pappanastos.
See Sample [DOC].
