=**__NHS Executive Committee__**= The executive committee is composed of the chapter officers and the chapter adviser. The committee helps direct the business affairs of the chapter. This committee determines the dues structure, makes recommendations concerning the bylaws, time and place of meetings, meeting agendas, special projects, member obligations, nominating procedures for the NHS scholarship awards programs, and the like. All actions and recommendations by the executive committee are subject to review by the membership. The executive committee should be especially aware of the chapter’s relationship to other school organizations, the administration, the faculty, and the community. Care should be taken that activities of the chapter do not duplicate or interfere with those of other school organizations. Ideally, any project or activity developed by the chapter will compliment and serve the best interests of the total school program.
