ATTACHMENT 5 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES Please share this IMPORTANT information with your chapter Delegates and Alternates. We request that each Delegate/Alternate is given a copy of this sheet. 1.) Delegates/Alternates must have a pictured ID (i.e. driver s license, military ID, state ID or passport) to be credentialed. There are NO exceptions to this rule. 2.) If a Delegate/Alternate s badge or material is lost during the NDA, the Delegate/Alternate must request a replacement from the National Delegates Assembly floor. 3.) If you are in the process of being credentialed and the Chair or the NDA requests a count of registered delegates, the credentialing process must come to a complete stop. This will allow the Credentials Committee to obtain an accurate count of delegates. This procedure will eliminate any conflicts with the credential s report of the number of Delegates authorized and registered at the time the report is being called by the Chair of the NDA. 4.) Any changes made to a Delegate/Alternate status must be completed on a change request form by the chapter president or chapter appointee. Scheduled time prior to the opening of the assembly will be available to make any changes and/or address any concerns regarding the credentialing of your chapter Delegates/Alternates. Change request forms can only be authorized by the Credentials Chair or Co-Chairs. For any membership concerns, the National Asst. Treasurer and Membership Chair will be at onsite Credentials. 5.) All Delegates/Alternates must meet the eligibility requirements as provided by the National Constitution and the BIG National Treasurer. All names will be checked for these requirements with the BIG National Office. If a Delegate/Alternate does not meet the requirements, his/her name will not be processed. A replacement can be substituted in order for the chapter to meet its authorized voting strength. 6.) Verify the spelling of all submitted delegate names is correct; specifically hyphenated names or name changes due to marriage. If a name is not listed exactly as the National Membership roster, your delegate will NOT be certified until verification of name is confirmed. This also eliminates the incorrect name printed on a badge. Thank you in advance and we look forward to seeing you in New Orleans during the 2018 National Delegates Assembly.
