NAEA Student Officers
National Art Education Association (NAEA) Student Chapter
The Student Chapter was set up in the 1990s and at present has a membership of more than 280 art education majors and alumni from the division. Its goals included:
- To encourage and support students to participate in both the national and the state annual conventions
- To help establish mentoring relationships and make friendships within the program and beyond
- To organize field trips to various local and regional educational sources
- To assist in career search
- To explore possibilities for community connections
The chapter holds an annual election for student officers including the following positions: one president, one vice-president, one secretary, one treasurer, and 1-3 chapter developers. Committed and responsible elected officers serve one full term beginning March to mid-February of the following year.
Candidates are required to have completed Art Education Foundations ARTE 31001 with a passing grade and a declared art education major at Kent State. The nomination week is usually held in mid-February, followed by a polling date and an official first meeting with the advisor. All candidates are required to post a brief, precise and well-written nomination statement to the entire listserv to introduce themselves and their rationale of running for the position. They also use this statement to set goals and list their previous leadership experience.
