District Committee Alternates

Since 2013, Eastern Missouri has also empowered coaches to serve as "alternates" to the District Committee.  This ensures that all District Committee decisions are made by a group of FIVE coaches while still allowing District Committee Members to recuse themselves whenever a conflict of interest arises.
Because the NSDA holds elections for the District Committee every two years, Eastern Missouri holds an election for Alternates every FALL to ensure some rotation of leadership!

2019 - 2020 Alternates

We will begin establishing this year's alternates in November, 2019!

Nomination Process

Nominations due January 6th!
ALTERNATE NOMINATION FORM

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.  
​This district committee will serve until July 31, 2021.
Nominations for the 2021 - 2023 District Committee will open in April of 2021!
