The ideal candidate will be a current Graduate Student (or recently graduated from a master's degree program) and will have a strong interest in nonprofit administration, excellent communication and organizational skills, and be willing to learn and take on new challenges.
The National Dance Education Organization (NDEO)is a non-profit, membership organization dedicated to advancing dance education for all.

Students earn points through various activities and then are able to be inducted into their chapter of the NHSDA.
