The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks

Calling All Leaders! - Are you interested in sharing your ideas to shape the future of the Elks scholar experience? Would you like to get to know other Elks scholars and ENF staff members? If so, we have a great opportunity for you! Join the Elks Scholar Advisory Board. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to get directly involved with the Elks National Foundation, become a member of a national board, and help us better serve Elks scholars.

"It’s an honor to serve on the Elks Scholar Advisory Board and discuss how Elks scholars can become connected, not only to each another, but also with Elks scholar alumni and Elks Lodges. By working together and sharing our ideas, much can be accomplished." Erika Barger, 2006 Legacy Scholar Advisory Board Member

The Elks Scholar Advisory Board is composed of eight members: one freshman, one sophomore, one junior, one senior, three at-large Elks Scholars and the Elks Alum of the Year. Freshman, sophomore, junior and senior Board members serve for four years from the date they are appointed, at-large members serve for two years and the Alum of the Year serves for one year.

Board member responsibilities include:

• Meeting online once a month.
• Communicating and providing feedback by email throughout the year.
• Attending the annual Scholar Advisory Board meeting in early July, all expenses paid. This year, Board members must be available to travel to Austin, Texas, from Friday, June 29, through Monday, July 2, 2012, for the annual Board meeting.
