Interested in Becoming an Officer?
Becoming a Nile Officer is a five-year commitment. You would start in the Oriental Guide position then proceed up the ladder through High Priest & Prophet, Assistant Rabban and Chief Rabban, finally becoming the Potentate.
The exception to the five-year commitment are with the positions of Treasurer and Recorder. All positions are elected through the Nile members, typically in November of the preceding year.
If you are interested in becoming an elected Nile officer, please send your letter of intent to the Nile Recorder - This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
