Page 15: BLACKS IN GOVERNMENT 2012 ANNUAL DELEGATES TRAINING July 28, 2012 NOAA Main Auditorium 1301 East-West Highway Silver Spring, Maryland 20901.

Credentials ProcessCredentials Process

What are credentials?The authorized process to register delegates for the National Delegates Assembly.

This process validates your financial eligibility to serve as a delegate or alternate.

Who assigns credentials?In accordance with Article VII, Section 2.B (1)(a), The National Delegates Assembly Credentials Committee has the ultimate responsibility to certify all delegates and alternates. When registering as a delegate or alternate, you will

proceed to an assigned area and follow instructions to the location where Region XI will register. The committee member should have your name (as

submitted by your chapter on a registration sheet). You will show your picture ID and sign your named under your designated chapter.

What do I need to register?You will need a picture ID (no exceptions)

Credentials ProcessCredentials Process

What will I receive as a delegate?After you are certified as an eligible delegate, you will receive a package containing all

the necessary documents required for conducting the business at the Delegates Assembly. Most importantly, you will receive a “BADGE” designating that you are either a “Delegate” or “Alternate”. It is very important that you don’t loose your

badge. If you loose your badge, either the Regional President or Regional Director will have to request authorization from the delegates to re-issue another.

What is the responsibility of an “Alternate”?The Alternates serves as a primary delegate in the event the primary needs to leave the

floor. Alternates only represent their Chapter’s delegates. They will receive a package upon registration and should always be prepared to stand in for the delegate.

Make sure you exchange badges to make you an “authorized” delegate to be on the floor.

How is the number of delegates from a chapter determined?The deadline for memberships was June 13, 2012. Based on the number of financial members (dues paying) in your chapter determines your membership strength. All

delegates and alternates must have been on the National Membership Roster 60 days prior to the Assembly. For example, if your membership is as follows:

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.)

Membership Number of Eligible Delegates1-25 226-50 451-75 676-100 8101-300 16301-500 32Over 500 40 5

Page 17: BLACKS IN GOVERNMENT 2012 ANNUAL DELEGATES TRAINING July 28, 2012 NOAA Main Auditorium 1301 East-West Highway Silver Spring, Maryland 20901.

Credentials ProcessCredentials Process

What happens if my membership was current by the deadline but expired later or changed chapters?

When you try to register at credentials, you will have to go to Problems Resolutions to validate your membership. Most of the time it’s an easy process, just inconvenient and sometimes embarrassing. In any event,

you must renew your membership before you can register as a delegate unless you can produce a receipt of payment showing your renewal date.

In the case of switching chapters, notification should have gone to the National Office designating the chapter you transferred.

What happens if there is a change in delegates or a switch from alternate to primary?

Only the Chapter President or designee (can be the Regional President) can authorize the credentials committee to change, add/substitute, or switch names of delegates. There will be a pre-credentials meeting to take care

of this problem in advance.

Other InformationOther Information

In early May, the National Treasurer will notify all Chapter and Regional Council Presidents of the deadline for all financial memberships. The memberships

must be current and submitted to the national office 60 days prior to the assembly. It is then time to review your chapter membership roster for

inaccuracies and revisions. When the deadline expires, it is too late — NO EXCEPTIONS.

In July, the National Assistant Treasurer will notify all Chapter and Regional Council Presidents of the number of ‘AUTHORIZED” delegates each chapter is entitled to. Directly following that, a membership roster will be mailed out.
