About The Position

The National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) seeks a seasoned honors professional to serve as the Non-Conference Programming Coordinator. This stipend-based role is designed for a current Honors administrator with familiarity with the honors community and a strong interest in professional development, teaching and learning, and year-round member engagement. Working closely with the Non-Conference Programming Committee, this individual will construct the annual non-conference programming matrix, identify and prioritize new programming opportunities, and present a cohesive programming lineup for committee review and approval. This role is intended to supplement and expand NCHC’s non-conference programming portfolio by developing additional, mission-centered programs beyond those already offered by committees or organically submitted by members. In partnership with the committee, the coordinator will ask and answer the strategic questions, “What is missing? Who are we not serving? What professional skill sets are not being supported?” This position serves as a connective hub between non-conference programming and the Professional Development and Teaching and Learning Committees. This position will seek to amplify the excellent outputs of these committees by identifying collaboration opportunities across programs, contributing to the development of thematic tracks for credentialing purposes, and working with the professional staff on programmatic sponsorship opportunities.
