What is the CQLT?
The CQLT shall consist of six persons: with no more than one representative from any one district, if possible, chosen from among the district team leaders and/or adult coaches of district quizzing teams. At least two members of the CQLT shall be chosen from Canadian team coaches and at least two members shall be chosen from among U.S. team coaches to ensure the interests of Alliance churches and districts in each country are represented. The director of the Life Office shall serve ex officio as a resource to the leadership team to coordinate programming and appropriate support for the International Quizzing Competition. The national youth director of each country or an equivalent representative may participate in any meeting of the CQLT.
Each district may nominate a person for the CQLT and the CQLT will create a short list of 2 names per vacancy for elections unless fewer names are nominated. Nominees must have the approval of the district quizzing point person, the District Superintendent or his appointee and the nominee’s pastor. Ballots will be sent to every district quiz program. Each participating district shall be entitled to one vote for each vacancy. If a representative is needed from one country, then the person from that country with the highest vote will be elected followed by the person with the highest number of votes.
A maximum of two non-Alliance members can be voted onto the CQLT with a maximum of one per election. Nominations follow the same approval process as listed.
