Why should I nominate myself to serve on my SCA Chapter committee?
A chapter reflects the SCA’s global vision, mission, and purpose on a local scale. Chapters can more efficiently develop and serve their communities with respect to culture and language. As an SCA Chapter, you can provide access, influence, and a sense of belonging to your local community as part of a greater global network.
SCA Chapters are run by volunteers elected by SCA members in their country. The election is run by SCA staff and communicated via email to all SCA members in your country. Anyone from the community can be nominated for a leadership position. There is no limit to the number of nominees, but all are required to be a member if they wish to run in the election. The elected SCA Chapter Coordinators serve a two-year term after which an election is run again.
Am I Eligible to Vote?
This SCA Chapter election is your opportunity to make your voice heard by voting for the volunteer committee who will be leading your local chapter activities. SCA members with a valid membership are eligible to vote. Not sure if you're eligible to vote?
