Council of Delegates

Delegates are tasked with grassroots outreach efforts, communicating with members at a local level and providing a forum for the exchange of information. The formula for calculating the number of delegates each state is entitled is based upon the number of Active and Candidate members in each state.

Each spring, all Active and Candidate members are invited to nominate themselves to serve on the CoD. Nominees are listed on a ballot and voted on by the Active and Candidate members of their state. Members receiving the highest number of votes are seated on the CoD. Delegates serve a three-year term with the possibility of re-election for a second term.
