An Update from the District College Expo Coordinator
Hello CNH!
My name is Broneka
Kovarkez, and I will be serving
as your 2016-2017 District College
Expo Coordinator. I am so honored,
and so thrilled to be able to work
with you all! Throughout this year, I
will make it my mission to reach out
to all of the members to educate,
and assist in the college process.
The road to being accepted to
college is a long, stressful, and
tiresome road, but you don’t have
to BEE-alone! I will be there right
beside you helping you, and
supporting you! The purpose of this
publication is so that you, the
members, can keep up with
everything it takes to get in to
colleges, from college applications
due dates, to scholarships; this
monthly publication will feature it
all! If you have any questions,
comments, or would just like to
chat, feel free to contact me!
Buzzing with Service,
Broneka Kovarkez

Region College Expo Coordinator Applications AVAILABLE NOW!
Are you interested in taking your
leadership and communication skills
to the next level? Want to become
more involved in the planning of
your region's RTC? Then consider
applying to be a Region College
EXPO Coordinator. Region College
EXPO Coordinators will plan and
organize a College EXPO at their
respective Region Training
Conference.
One RCEC will be appointed per
region unless the Lieutenant
Governors request two. You can
apply to be an RCEC regardless of
the current positions you hold, but
before applying, ask yourself
whether you can effectively serve as
both an RCEC and whichever
position(s) you currently have now.
Time management will be essential if
you are appointed to serve as an
RCEC.
