Students experience the honor of being recognized in a national organization for their efforts and achievements. In addition, the students, school and sponsor receive membership and leadership and web-based materials at no extra cost. A club can be started anytime of the year, so you can use winter, spring, and summer breaks to begin laying the foundation. There is no deadline on starting a club. Many clubs have one sponsor to oversee recruitment of members, another sponsor who is in charge of meetings and other activities, and another to supervise convention attendance.
Many clubs have parents or local community members as sponsors.
The National Beta Club does, however, require that the school administration approve the sponsor.
