As per the Constitution, Article V. Convention, Section A. Biennial, No. 3, the President of each Local, or in his/her absence, the Vice President shall be a delegate to the Biennial Convention. Additional delegates, if necessary, will be elected at annual general meetings as per the formula (page 11). Please note that the number of credential forms in your kit denotes the number of delegates you are entitled to and the credential form(s) must be signed by the President and Secretary of your Local in order to be accepted.
