Detailed NOAC Staff Application Process
Conference Committee Lead Advisers
A National Order of the Arrow Conference could not function effectively
without the dedicated service of those Arrowmen who work with one of
the Conference Committees. These Arrowmen are referred to as "Support
Staff".
Members of the NOAC Support Staff pay their own way to the conference,
often traveling with their own lodge contingent. At the conference,
they work for one or more days, some the entire week, in a support
role to help make the national conference program successful. They
pay the staff fee for the conference.
Back to top
All Arrowmen interested in being considered for a support
staff assignment must
request a Support Staff Application in writing, with a
self-addressed stamped envelope, from one of the
Conference Committee
Lead Advisers.
SUPPORT STAFF APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FROM THE
NATIONAL OFFICE.
All NOAC support staff members will be required to have the
National
OA Director's approval, along with their Scout Executive, Lodge Adviser,
and Conference Committee Lead Adviser's approval, before they will be
sent a 'Letter Of Assignment And Confirmation' of their selection to the
conference committee support staff.
The deadline for submitting a 1998 NOAC support staff application to a
Conference Committee Lead Adviser is February 1, 1998.
A more detailed description of the process is given below.
Back to top
- All Arrowmen interested in serving on the NOAC Support Staff should
secure a Support Staff Application by writing, with a self-addressed
stamped envelope, to one of the
Conference Committee Lead Advisers.
- Applicants complete the support staff application, and attach to it
a detailed description of their qualifications in the conference
areas in which they have specific interest. Signatures of the local
Scout Executive and Lodge Adviser are required. The deadline
for submitting a NOAC Support Staff Application to a Conference
Committee Lead Adviser is February 1, 1998.
- Applicants return the support staff application to the Lead Adviser
of the committee on which the applicant wishes to serve.
- The Lead Adviser will review the application and either approve or
reject the applicant.
If approved, the Lead Adviser signs the original application,
specifies the arrival date and first meal, and forwards the completed
application to the National Director for final review.
If not selected, the Lead Adviser notes the rejection on the
application and forwards it to the National Office to go into the
Staffing Pool .
If an applicant is not selected for a particular
committee, but can be recommended for a position on another committee,
the Lead Adviser may forward the application directly to another
Lead Adviser for additional consideration prior to placement in
the Staffing Pool.
- The National Director reviews all applications and authorizes
final approval of all support staff. Upon final approval the National
Director sends a Letter of Assignment and Confirmation to the
applicant and notifies the Lead Adviser of the applicant's approval.
- Those applicants not selected to serve on the support staff
are notified in writing by the National Director. These letters are
sent after all staff positions are filled or by May 1, 1998,
whichever occurs first.
Applicants not selected for support staff in their first area of
interest are placed in the Staffing Pool maintained by the National
Director. Some staff positions can be filled by individuals with
limited or no prior experience. All of the Conference Committee
Lead Advisers may review applications and select staff from the
Staffing Pool in order to fill their staff.
When an applicant is chosen from the Staffing Pool, the Lead Adviser
usually contacts the applicant to confirm the applicant's interest
in the position available. Once an applicant's interest is confirmed,
the approval process continues as outlined above.
