Which applicants are eligible for nomination?

• A. Only those recommended by the local advisers.
• B. The president personally selects nominees.
• C. Any member who submits an application.
• D. Applicants who are present at the National Leadership Conference and certified by the officer screening committee.

Answer: (D)

Eligibility hinges on meeting the formal nomination process: you must be present at the National Leadership Conference and be certified by the officer screening committee. Being at the NLC shows you’re active in the national program, and the officer screening committee’s certification verifies you meet all required qualifications for nomination. This combination prevents nominations from being based only on local recommendations, a single person’s choice, or a simple written application, and it ensures that candidates are both present at the key event and properly screened for eligibility.
