In order to approve a new Board member for your local Board of Directors, the following must take place: 

1) The prospective Board member must submit an application here. 

2) Once the application is submitted, YCP National will review. If there are no concerns from National, the Board application will be sent to the the board@ycp<chapter>.org email for review. 

3) The Board will need to facilitate a vote and approval can only be confirmed if majority of the Board is in favor. The Board can do so at the upcoming Board meeting or they can call a special meeting to conduct the vote. Additionally, the vote can take place via email but the approval must be unanimous. 

4) The vote's results should be recorded in the current or upcoming Board meeting minutes to be stored in the Chapter's Google Drive for record. 

5) The Board Chair should notify National of the vote's results. If approved, National will welcome the Board member, adding the new Board member to the database, the Chapter website, and to the board@ycp<chapter>.org email to be included in future communication.
