Who is eligible to apply for the National Parliamentarian position?

The eligibility for the National Parliamentarian position is determined by the structure and guidelines of the Arnold Air Society (AAS). Candidates for this role typically need to have sufficient experience and familiarity with parliamentary procedures, which aligns with the requirements for advanced cadet ranks.

AS 300 cadets and below are often considered eligible because they are still in the stage of developing their leadership skills and understanding of the organization's operations, which can provide valuable insights and perspectives in parliamentary matters. This level of involvement allows cadets to actively engage with AAS's governance while learning and growing within their ranks.

On the other hand, the higher ranks such as AS 400 cadets typically have more leadership responsibilities and may already hold positions that demand their attention, making them less likely to prioritize a role such as the National Parliamentarian, which may be more suited for those establishing foundational knowledge in the society. Senior members might also have different commitments, not focused exclusively on the roles meant for less experienced cadets. This structure encourages a collaborative environment where newer members can contribute meaningfully to governance while gaining essential skills.
