DELEGATES TO CONVENTION- REGISTRATION

Those persons who wish to register as a delegate to their chapter, state or at-large members must fill out the official Delegate Registration Form, and turn it in on or before June 30, 2025.  This means, if you mail the form "snail mail", it should be mailed a few days before that date, in order to be received.  The form can be saved, filled out, printed and signed, then scanned back into your device to be sent as an attachment in an email on or before June 30. These forms require signatures.  If the form is not received by the deadline the delegate will not be registered and cannot be seated at convention.   Find the Delegate Registration Form using this link:  Delegate Form or by going to the general forms page of this website.

EXAMPLE:    

Find the delegate registration form using the link provided here, or on the general forms page of this site.  Download, or save, the form to your device hard drive (it is best to use a computer/laptop).  Open the saved form and fill out all information.

Once you have filled out all of the information, print out your form and add all signatures that are required.  ( your own and if applicable, the person you are registering.)  MAKE A COPY FOR YOUR RECORDS!

You can now either mail the form with the original signatures to the National Elections Committee chair, or you can scan a PDF copy of the finished form back into your device, using your printer/scanner settings. (Be careful to choose to save as a document, or as a pdf, NOT a picture file.)  Once you have done this, the scanned copy of your form can be attached to an email to be sent to the Elections Committee chair.  Be sure to followup about 2 weeks after sending the form, to be sure it was received.
