Voting Delegates
Each chapter must send 2 voting delegates to the “Meet the Candidates” meeting on Saturday afternoon. After conferring with their classmates, the delegates will cast their 2 votes from their chapter.
As an NCJCL Officer, you learn patience, teamwork, and develop close relationships with your fellow board members. You have the opportunity to develop leadership skills and give back to this eccentric organization. I can certainly testify to having had the opportunity to take part in a truly rewarding experience. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me. Please encourage your students to run for an office this year and serve the NCJCL!
Additional information and forms can be found below.

- There is a $40.00 limit on campaign expenses. Campaigning of any kind may not begin until after the General Assembly on Friday night of State Convention. Any campaigning before the general assembly via any platform (including social media such as Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) will result in disqualification.
- All candidates must have attended at least one NCJCL State Convention and must be able to complete their term of office while still enrolled in school and in a Classics course. If the candidate has already taken all the Latin/Classics courses offered at his/her school, then it is permitted to not be enrolled in a Classics course.

Commitments for ncjcl officers:
Candidates, if elected as state officers, will become voting members of the NCJCL Executive Board. Officers must attend 4 yearly Executive Board meetings occurring in May, September, January and March, as well as the NCJCL Fall Forum and State Convention. The quarterly board meetings are held in various locations across the state. Lastly, certain officers must attend Virtual National Convention from July 24-29, 2021. Officers may receive financial packets for National Convention if necessary.
State of emergency:
Should a State of Emergency (when less than two candidates apply to run for a particular office) occur, sponsors will have the opportunity to file a prospective candidate for that office. Please note that sponsors may still only file one candidate per office and a total of 3 candidates per chapter overall by the State of Emergency deadline. Please email the parliamentarian if you have any questions.
