Certified Candidates for National Positions to be Elected at Syn-Lod 2015

Greetings to National President, Founders, and All Top Ladies.

On behalf of Top Ladies of Distinction, Inc., the National Nominating Committee is pleased to
present the official Candidate Bulletin highlighting the candidates who have been certified as
meeting the eligibility requirements for national positions to be elected at Syn-Lod 2017.

Nominations were submitted via the TLOD website online process with good success. Eligibility
Requirements for the National Positions were reviewed by the Nominating Committee. Chapter
verifications were obtained via the Candidate Eligibility Chapter Verification Form that was
submitted as part of the online nomination process. Those Eligibility Requirements that required
verification, per TLOD Standards, from National/Area Financial Secretaries were obtained via
requests from the Nominating Committee.

The official Candidate Bulletin in online format is readily available to chapters for voting delegates
and to Parliamen-Top Voting Members, as well as all of the TLOD membership. This official
Candidate Bulletin includes in the following order:
 List of National Positions to be elected at Syn-Lod along with the names of the properly
Certified Candidates
 National Candidate Eligibility Requirements
 National Nominations Timeline
 National Campaign Guidelines
 Candidate Profile & Resume for each of the Certified Candidates in the order they appear
on the Certified Candidates List

Other nominations may be received from the floor during the appropriate Syn-Lod Plenary Session.
Nominees from floor nominations must complete the official Floor Nomination Form, meet all of the
Candidate Eligibility Requirements for the applicable national position, and must be properly
certified by the Nominating Committee and Financial officers before being added to the official
Ballot. The official Floor Nomination Form is included at the end of this bulletin. Also included is
information on obtaining an editable form and on Pre-Certification to ensure efficient and timely
addition of certified floor candidates to the official Ballot after floor nominations are made at Syn-
Lod.

The National Nominating Committee and TLOD are indebted to Lady Natasha Goode, National
TLOD Technology Director, for her commitment and invaluable contributions working with the
Committee toward development of the TLOD website online nomination process and the online
bulletin. Appreciation is also extended to those candidates who completed the online nomination
process in a timely manner as requested, and to the National Financial Secretary and to each of
the Area Financial Secretaries who responded to the certification requests.
