Without getting into too much detail, we have a nominating process at which time any voting member may nominate women for International Council positions. An elections committee takes those nominations and determine a ballot. Voting members/chapters are sent ballots with biographical information and vote based on that. There is no campaigning allowed. Our elections are done now (ballots were due today), the new officers are announced in advance of Convention, but are installed at Convention. There are qualifications that candidates must meet. For instance, our International President must have served on our Intermational Council in another position for a term. It ends up being the women who have been very involved and, therefore, their names and faces are well known to the voting membership. It is their dedication to Alpha Gamma Delta that gets them there.
