What is the nomination process for International Executive Council candidates?

The nomination process for International Executive Council candidates is structured to ensure that candidates have been vetted and recognized at multiple levels before being considered for the international stage. By requiring that candidates be nominated at their respective Area Conference and State Conference, the process provides an opportunity for local members to evaluate candidates and support their aspirations.

This multi-tiered approach not only enhances the credibility and visibility of the candidates but also encourages participation and engagement at various levels within the organization. It fosters a sense of collective decision-making, where members can endorse individuals who represent their values and goals.

In contrast to the other options, this structured process helps maintain consistency and a standard for evaluating potential leaders, ensuring that only those who demonstrate leadership qualities and have the support of their peers at local and state levels advance to the international candidacy.
