NOAC 2006 Conference Staff Application Process

1. All youth and adult Arrowmen interested in serving on the 2006 NOAC Staff may apply on line at the NOAC Registration Area on the Order of the Arrow Website: www.oa-bsa.org after January 2, 2006. (All 2004 NOAC staff members will receive an invitation to apply via e-mail asking them to register via the NOAC Registration Area.)
   
   
2. Applicants will be asked to enter a detailed description of their qualifications in the conference area in which they have specific interest. Signatures of the council Scout executive and lodge adviser are required, after printing the completed Staff Application from the OA Website. The deadline for submitting a NOAC Support Staff Application to the national office for Lead Adviser and OA Director approval is March 31, 2006.
   
   
3. Once an applicant's paperwork is received in the national office, the appropriate lead adviser will review the qualifications and either approve or not approve the applicant. If not approved by the lead adviser, the applicant will be placed in a staff pool for consideration by all conference lead advisers.
   
   All applications approved by the lead adviser must receive final approval by the Director of the Order of the Arrow, and an e-mail will be sent notifying them of their status.
   
   If approved, the lead adviser will specify an approved arrival date and a Notice of Staff Assignment/Registration Form will be sent to the applicant electronically, with instructions on how to obtain their notice of staff assignment. By signing the form, the applicant acknowledges that they have read and will abide by the conference code of conduct and statement of understanding. The Notice of Staff Assignment and conference fee of $345.00 are due by May 31, 2006 and should be mailed to the national OA office:

4. Those applicants not selected to serve on the conference staff will be electronically notified that a position was not available. Those notifications will be sent after all staff positions are filled or by May 1, 2006, whichever occurs first. Applicants will be able to check the status of their application and fee by going to the NOAC Registration Area, click on Staff, at the OA Website: www.oa-bsa.org.
