NAITSA Executive Council 2023-24

Life as a NAITSA Executive

Student executives enjoy many benefits while gaining valuable experience for their resumes. 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 a conference, talking to bands and other performers for one of our many campus events, meeting with NAIT students, or fulfilling any number of other exciting tasks.

If elected you will receive a competitive salary with benefits, education paid for and a laptop and cell phone during your elected tenure. You will also have the opportunity to travel the country for conferences and events; all while you network, build your skill set, and most importantly, have fun.
