1. Encourage Involvement. Share the benefits of NTHS with
colleagues to reach all career and technical students who
deserve to be recognized and honored.
2. Connect with Community Leaders. Honor your Advisory
Board and B&I leaders at your induction ceremony. Honorary
NTHS memberships bring community leaders face to face with
your top students and promote internship and employment
opportunities for them.
3. Show Purple Pride during Career/Tech Week. Have fun!
Encourage members to create NTHS banners and displays for
campus tours and open house events.
4. Utilize School Website. List NTHS under ‘Clubs and
Organizations” on your school’s website.
5. Sponsor a Contest. Peer encouragement is the best carrot on a
stick to recruit new members. Hold a contest to build your
chapter. The member who recruits the most new members, gets
the carrot!

keep chapter website up-to-date, post events, kudos and news

avenues to gain recognition.
