HelloT<br><br>Just as there is a process to petition for delayed nomination with six signatures, is there a way to petition the Nominating Committee with sixty signatures for a more balanced Chapter representation in the Board? Chapters need at least as many seats in the Board as Organizational Members for a greater balance in deliberations.<br>
