NAITSA Executive & Staff

Led by the President, NAITSA’s Executive team is made up of three Vice Presidents: a VP Academic, a VP Student Services, and a VP External. Each team member holds varying portfolios and works together throughout the year to provide services, events, and activities for NAIT students. All executives are elected to their positions on a yearly basis by the student body. Follow the Life as an Executive link to learn more about these roles.

Life as a NAITSA Executive

As student executives, the NAITSA President, VP Academic, VP External, and VP Student Services enjoy many benefits while gaining valuable experience for their resumes. To run, all you need is to be a student with academic good standing at NAIT in a full-time program. If you¹re in your first year of your program, you can still run and continue your program the following year. If you¹re finishing your program this year, you can still be on the executive, as long as you are currently a student with academic good standing in your last year.

On an average day, a NAITSA executive could be representing the student body in meetings with NAIT administration, lobbying the government for improved transit or funding for NAIT students, networking with other student leaders at an ASEC conference, talking to bands and other performers for one of our many campus events, meeting with one of NAIT¹s students, or fulfilling any number of other exciting tasks. If elected, you will receive a competitive salary and benefits, your education will be paid while you are in office, a phone and laptop will be provided and subsidized while in office, and you will travel across the country for conferences, all while you network, build your skill set, and most importantly, have fun.
