THE 2023 NAILE JR. TUNIS CHAMPIONS

NTJA OUTLINE & MISSION
The following is the outline for the "National
Tunis Junior Association". All Tunis Youth Members will
automatically be a member of the NTJA.
The "National Tunis Junior Association Board
of Directors" will offer leadership and educational opportunities on
a national level. Seven Directors and Seven Intern Directors will
make up the Jr. Board. The national annual meeting will be at The
North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) in
Louisville Kentucky.
The seven NTJA Directors will serve a two year
term. The age limit for these positions will be 14-21 years old. The age limit for the Intern positions will be
12-18 years old. The Intern Director position will be a one year
term. Any Candidate running for an NTJA Board of
director position must have served at least one term as an intern
director or as an officer in another organization pertaining to
agriculture. (With the exception of the first ever NTJA Board of
Directors Election).
There will be one NTJA Director and one NTJA
Intern from each region of the country. This will create an equal
opportunity for all junior members in North America.
There will be three adults to help direct the
Junior board in the first eighteen months that the organization is
forming to give their opinions/suggestions as the NTJA writes their
Constitution and By Laws. There will also be four other adults that
will act as mentors. After the first eighteen months the original
three adults that have helped with the formation of the NTJA will
step back and continue to be a mentor. After the eighteen months the
NTJA will take full reign and the seven adults will act as mentors /
helpers for their region. This should create Junior Leadership
representation and mentorship on a National level.
The NTJA will carry out programs and events to
serve the Junior Members and promote the Tunis Breed across
the Nation. The NTJA Board will also make recommendations for new
programs and ideas to the National Youth Director and to the Board
of Directors of the NTSRI. This will help to develop leadership
potential and also to promote the Tunis Breed.
The Applications will be available under the
youth section of the National Tunis web site around the first of
December. They must be e-mail dated or post marked by January 15th.
Phone interviews will be conducted January 2nd - March 31st. We will
have an announcement sent out in a special Jr. News Letter in April
to announce the seven NTJA Board of Directors and the seven Intern
Directors.
This is the best and most fun way to promote
leadership to grow the Youth membership and the Tunis Breed. Please
get your applications in and let's have one of the most awesome
youth organization in North America!
