National Society of Leadership and Success Membership

There are two ways you can join The National Society of Leadership and Success: by invitation or by completing the nomination form.  If you have not been invited and would like to join, visit the NSLS Web site to access the online nomination system. Upon filling out the online application and paying the one-time registration fee, you are considered a pre-inducted member of the Society.

Immediately upon paying your membership registration dues, you will receive numerous member benefits inside the members' area of the NSLS Website. To be officially inducted as a member of the Society, you will need to complete the four steps noted below. All steps can be completed online over the course of one or more semesters. While many pre-inducted members complete the four steps in one semester, this is not a requirement for induction.

Steps to Induction

1. Complete your chapter orientation.
   Read the Membership Handbook and complete a series of orientation questions to prove your understanding of the material covered.  Responses are reviewed/approved by the Online Chapter Advisor.  The Member Handbook and corresponding questions will be sent to you via e-mail after signing up.
2. Complete your Leadership Training Day.
   View a video training session that focuses on exploring challenges, recognizing strengths, identifying passions and setting up a personal plan to initiate the change needed to move forward as a leader.
3. Participate in three Success Networking Team (SNT) meetings.
   Member will experience goal setting sessions designed to help set goals and overcome obstacles.  Using a proven formula for producing results, you will clarify your goals, benefit from other people's experience, and commit to specific action steps to achieve your desired results.  SNT write-ups discussing your goals, action steps and progress are submitted for review by the Online Chapter Advisor.
4. Attend three speaker events.
   Watch some of the world's most successful motivational speakers via Internet broadcasts (Video-on-Demand).  Videos are accompanied by a series of questions to prove your understanding of the material covered.  Responses are reviewed/approved by the Online Chapter Advisor.
