Each year, one new student member-at-large, and one new professional member-at-large are elected to sit on the National Council.  Both offices serve a 3-year term.

As a Council member, you'll be involved in the planning and governing of the entire national organization!  Take part in the decision-making process for National ALD - apply to become a National Council Member-at-Large!

Student Member-at-Large:

As a student member-at-large, you'll have the same responsibilities as the rest of the National Council.  To apply, you must be a sophomore member of Alpha Lambda Delta, and must be able to:

• Attend one National Council meeting each year.  The Council meeting is held in late June, at locations around the country.  The meeting lasts just under a week, and is where the majority of the planning and policy-making for the year takes place.
• Attend the National Leadership Workshop each year.
• Attend committee meetings throughout the year for the duration of your term.  The Personnel, Executive, and Fellowship committees all meet at least once a year, and if you are selected to sit on one of these committees, you will be asked to travel to the meeting sites.
• Represent the National Council at chapter installations and Order of the Torch presentations throughout the year.  If ALD installs a new chapter in your part of the country, you may be asked to serve as the installing officer.
• Take part in various long-distance discussions via telephone and e-mail throughout the year.

If you're interested in taking a leader's role in Alpha Lambda Delta, download the Student Member-at-Large application (Available here) fill it out, and return it to the National Office before December 15.  We'll inform the elected applicant in plenty of time for you to plan to attend our June Council meeting!

Professional Member-at-Large:

Professional members-at-large have the same responsibilities as outlined above.  If you're interested, please prepare a vita and letter of interest, and return it to the National Office before May 15.
