Looking to make a bigger impact with your ELA Honor Society chapter? Now’s the perfect time to invite a new school to join the program! As an incentive, when you successfully recruit a new chapter, your own chapter’s $65 annual affiliation fee will be waived.
Why Recruit a New Chapter?
Expanding the ELA Honor Society means bringing more educators and students together to celebrate literacy, critical thinking, and creativity. By encouraging another school to join, you are helping spread the mission of promoting excellence in English Language Arts while fostering a larger network of collaboration and inspiration.
How to Do It
Simply reach out to schools in your area, or educators within your professional network, and share the benefits of joining the ELA Honor Society. From supporting student achievements to offering leadership and award opportunities, it is an organization that empowers everyone involved.
Once the new chapter completes their registration and affiliation, your chapter’s annual fee will be waived for the next year—it is win-win!
Start Now!
Take the first step in growing our community. Reach out, share your passion, and inspire others to become part of the ELA Honor Society community. Together, we can make an even greater impact.
For more details or support, feel free to reach out to Chris Lockwood, ELA Honor Society Director, at ctlockwood@niu.edu.
