Are members at large eligible to serve as voting delegates at the national conference?

Members at large are not eligible to serve as voting delegates at the national conference. This is because voting delegate status is typically reserved for members who are part of a recognized state association or chapter. The structure is designed to ensure that those voting on behalf of a larger group have a direct affiliation and representation from their specific chapters, rather than being independent members. This helps maintain the integrity and the representational nature of the voting process at national events. Thus, the participation criteria are intentionally structured to include only certain categories of members to foster representation tied to state or regional chapters.
