Ever thought about serving as a national YDSA leader?

Please note that attending this call does NOT lock you in to running for NCC! Each NCC candidate must receive ten nominations from YDSA members in good standing in order to run, including two nominations from members outside their own chapter. You can nominate a member to run for NCC here.
