Executive Directors' Shirts:

NASSCED is an organization of individuals and not of associations. Whenever the NASSCED Board or Membership decides to provide a shirt with the organization’s logo on it, the shirts will be given only to those Executive Directors who have individually paid dues for current membership in NASSCED. If additional shirts are desired by paid members, they may be purchased at cost.

 

State Presidents' Shirts:

Whenever the NASSCED Board or Membership decides to provide a shirt for each state president to wear at the NASC Conference, one shirt will be provided for each state and U.S. Territory. If any state or territory requires more than one shirt because it has more than one president, the state association will reimburse NASSCED for the additional shirt(s). If other regional or international groups wish to participate, their home association will order and assume the cost of the shirt(s).

 

Regional Scholarships:

Scholarships when funded by NASSCED and given by regions for students and/or advisors to receive training through a workshop or conference must be claimed by December 31 each year. If a state does not claim its scholarship, the region may request that the scholarship funds for that region by reallocated for state officer training within the region. The reallocated money must be requested by June 1 by the region NASSCED Board Member and the region NASC Board Adult and Student Members jointly.

 

Regional State Officer Training:

When funds are available and NASSCED votes to do so, funds may be requested for support of a training program hosted in a region for the state officers within the region. The request for these funds must be made by February 1 by the NASSCED Region Board Member.

The President of the NASSCED serves in an ex-officio capacity on the NASC Executive Board. In that capacity, this NASSCED liaison has all the rights and privileges of Board members, including the right to vote on motions made by Board members. (Traditionally, however, ex-officio members have not voted.) The NASSCED is welcome at all NASC Executive Board and steering committee meetings. This liaison person could also decline to attend meetings if he/she feels the NASSCED is represented by others on the Executive Board. (Reaffirmed - January 7-10, 1998.)

Per a June 25-26, 1982, NASC Board action, the NASSCED pays the travel expenses of their liaison to NASC Executive Board Meetings.

The NASC pays all local meeting costs (food, lodging, etc.) and waives NASC Conference registration fee for the NASSCED liaison. (January 7-10, Minutes.)

The NASC is responsible for expenses to attend the NASSCED Executive Board meetings. (See NASC Executive Board Minutes, April 3, 1982)
