The National Leadership Council (NLC) serves as a student advisory board for the NSCS national office. It is a leadership opportunity awarded to 10 students who display leadership qualities within their NSCS chapter, in the community and on campus.

NLC members work closely with the national staff to provide feedback and opportunities to members at 280 chapters across the country. Members of the NLC also serve as the “face of NSCS” at national functions such as the NSCS Leadership Summit and Convention.

“Members of the NSCS National Leadership Council must exhibit the three pillars of NSCS-- Scholarship, Leadership and Service,” said Blair Edwards, Senior Manager, Member Engagement. “The members of the 2011-2012 NLC are dedicated to NSCS and exude the passion we look for in NLC members. They have a clear vision of how they want to make an impact in the NSCS community and I’m excited to work with all of them.”

Students apply for positions on the NCL and are evaluated based on their NSCS involvement and their adherence to NSCS’ values of scholarship, leadership and service.
