Monash University Golden Key Society

Monash University Golden Key Society

The Monash University Golden Key Society is the Monash University Chapter of the Golden Key International Honour Society. Chartered in 1996, it has a membership base of over 15,000 members (as of May 2008), inducting approximately 1000 new members in April of each year. Based on member numbers, the Chapter is currently the largest Golden Key Chapter in the Asia-Pacific region. As with all other Chapters of the Golden Key Honour Society, entrance is via invitation, following an indication by the University that the student has obtained marks that place them amongst the top 15% of students from their faculty.

The Chapter has the support [http://www.monash.edu.au/news/monashmemo/stories/20050803/goldenkey.html] of the Vice-Chancellor Professor Richard Larkins, who endorses each new member invitation with an accompanying letter of endorsement. The Chapter is unable to be affiliated with the Clayton-based Monash Student Association's "Clubs and Societies" division, due to its selective invitation process. However, this has not been a concern for the Monash Student Union Caulfield (MONSU Caulfield), with whom the Chapter is a Registered Group.

Executive Committee

The Chapter is run by student volunteers, who form a committee comprising a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. There are also a number of portfolio officers who organise events specific to their position, and a number of general committee members. The size of the committee varies each year depending on member interest. As of May, 2007 there were 34 permanent committee members listed on the Chapter's website. The 2008 Annual General Meeting was held on 19 September 2008 in which a new committee was elected. Two Vice Presidents were elected as co-Vice Presidents which is the first time that Monash Golden Key has decided to take on two Vice Presidents and split the roles. In 2008 the committee is as follows:
