Nomination process
Here is the simple process by which members nominate prospective new members:

Complete the nomination form.
Sign and date the nomination form.
Have a fellow CNP member second the nomination by also signing and dating the form, or by having the seconder call or send a letter to the CNP office seconding the nomination.
If you can, attach a resume or any biographical information on the nominee to the nomination form.
Return the nomination form and biographical information to the CNP office by fax or mail.

Post-Nomination Process

Once the nomination form with a second and biographical information are received at the CNP office, the nominees; names are placed on a ballot to be voted on by the CNP Executive Committee. The vote is confidential and must be unanimous for a nominee to be invited to membership.
Ballots are sent out to the Executive Committee members and the results are announced at the next Executive Committee meeting or during a CNP Executive Committee conference call.
Invitations are sent to those who are approved. Nominators are sent copies of each invitation letter.
Nominators should then contact their invited nominees and explain the benefits of becoming a member of the Council for National Policy.
If the CNP office does not receive a response from a nominee after two weeks, a follow up letter, a copy of the CNP tenth anniversary video and the Policy Counsel journal are sent to the nominee. Nominators also receive a memo when this follow-up mailing is sent, giving each nominator another opportunity to encourage nominees to accept membership.
