ALTERNATES

Learn more about nomination and/or serving as a District Alternate this year!
Opens in October!

What do alternates do?

Alternates serve a VITAL role in the leadership of our district!  In short, alternates:
  • Take an active role in the selection of our Eastern Missouri NSDA Award recipients:  Student of the Year, Ross Scholarship, Coach of the Year, Communicator of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Alumni Achievement Award, etc.
  • Take an active role in the selection of the District's World Schools Debate school!
  • Adjudicate protests when a District Committee Member must recuse themselves due to a conflict of interest
This process is designed to ensure that leadership is distributed throughout the district coaches -- serving as an alternate is a fantastic way to lend your expertise to the District AND/OR discover if serving on the District Committee is right for you!

District Committee Elections

District leaders are elected by a one-school, one-vote election held every two years.  All voting is conducted by NSDA headquarters staff.
The current district committee will serve until July 31, 2023.
