Edison Students Join
National Society of Leadership and Success
The National Society of Leadership and Success (the Society) welcomed
twelve inductees from Edison Community College on Monday, December 8.
Edison Chapter Advisors and faculty members Sarah Hein and Kim Wall led
the induction ceremony with greetings delivered by Dr. Karen Rafinski,
Interim President, and a keynote address from Scott Burnam, Vice
President of Student Affairs.
Those inducted into the Society included, Paige Christ of Arcanum;
Amanda Dysert of St. Marys; Joseph Fisher of Troy; Heather Grillot of
Fort Loramie; Janice Harshman of Troy; Kerrie Josefovsky of Piqua;
Jennifer Noren of Troy; Emily Ocke of Sidney; Branda Peebles of
Arcanum; Lauren Rammel of Fort Recovery; Eric Shoemaker of Sidney; and
Randall Spradlin of Sidney.
Students are initially invited to join the Society based on academic
criteria. To achieve induction into the Society, members must attend
Orientation, Leadership Training Day, 3 Speaker Broadcasts, and 3
Success Networking Team meetings. Members have until they graduate from
Edison to acquire the minimum of twelve hours of leadership training
required for induction.
In its inaugural year, the Edison Chapter of the Society has a total of
seventy-seven active students. Co-Advisor and Edison Professor Kim Wall
is confident that the newly formed Society will give students a leading
edge in the workforce. “What I keep reading about are the soft skills
employers are seeking. I see the Society as an organization in which
students can align themselves in effort to specifically develop, or
hone, those soft skills further leveraging the experience on their
resume and in those interviews to set them apart.”
The future of the Edison Chapter is bright as Executive Board Members
meet to align core values with those of the College and the Society.
“Starting next semester, we’ll begin engaging in community service
activities,” added Co-Advisor and Edison Professor Sarah Hein. “This
makes members think not just about what they can do for themselves but
how they can give back to the community.”
Adding to the many benefits of joining the Society, scholarship
opportunities are also available to participating students. Lauren
Rammel, the Edison Chapter’s Executive Board President and
post-secondary student, was awarded one of only two nation-wide
Inspirational Leader Awards. She submitted a haiku of each of the
Society’s core values and wrote an essay about how she strives to be an
inspirational leader.
The mission of the National Society of Leadership and Success is to
build leaders who make a better world. The Society is an organization
that helps people discover and achieve their goals. The Society offers
life-changing lectures from the nation's leading presenters and a
community where like-minded, success-oriented individuals come together
and help one another succeed. The Society also serves as a powerful
force of good in the greater community by encouraging and organizing
action to better the world.
