Host a Convention

Hosting a NHSA Convention at your city/University is a great opportunity to spark interest amongst your student- members, revive and earn publicity for your local HSA. By offering to host such a big event as the NHSA Convention Fall 2011, you get the chance to advertise your local HSA and connect with more potential sponsors that can later be easily approached for events of your local HSA. Most importantly, you are actively participating in NHSA’s effort to spread the word about Hellenism and Education (Paideia) in America.

The selection process is based on the submission of proposals. To give you an idea of what your proposal should include we have created a Convention Bid FAQ for Fall 2011. Please try to include answers to all of our questions and propose a plan/schedule of the events, talks, socials that you are thinking of including in the Convention weekend.

Take a look at the NHSA Conventions 2010-2011 guideline which contains the NHSA Board’s ideas for the Conventions. Also we suggest you to consult the schedule of events in each of the past conventions to form a clearer idea about what comprises a complete Convention proposal.

In case there are more than one Universities/HSAs in an area that are interested in co-organizing theNHSA Convention Fall 2011, one proposal should be submitted collectively.

If your HSA is not represented at the NHSA Convention Spring 2011, but would still like to submit a proposal you can do so, by emailing us its proposal. In such cases, one of the NHSA’s Board members will present the proposal to the rest of the Convention participants.

The deadline for submitting your proposals is Friday, April 8th. Submit your proposals by emailing us at nhsa@nhsaofamerica.org.

Proposals will be presented and open to discussion on Sunday, April 10th. A decision will be made the same day by the NHSA Board and all NHSA members will be informed.
