Certified Candidates for National Positions to be Elected at Syn-Lod 2017
Greetings to National President, Founders, Top Ladies and All Top Teens.
On behalf of Top Ladies of Distinction, Inc., the National Nominating Committee is pleased to present
the Official Top Teens of America 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 National Nominating Committee. Chapter
verifications were obtained via the Candidate Eligibility Chapter Verification Form. Those eligibility
requirements that required verification, per TLOD Standards, from National/Area Financial Secretaries
were obtained via requests from the National Nominating Committee.
The Official Candidate Bulletin in online format is readily available to chapters for voting delegates and
to national leadership as well as to nearly 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 and 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 Team Chairman, 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.
In Service to TLOD and TTA,
