How to Become Involved with the Council.

To be considered for an officer position within the Council of Imperial Turtles, a member must have demonstrated significant involvement and leadership within the organization. For the top roles, such as High Chancellor, candidates are required to have previously served in progressively responsible positions, beginning at least as a Vice Chancellor for the Pro-Chancellor role and as Pro-Chancellor for the High Chancellor role. Officers are elected to one-year terms by the organization’s members and are eligible for reelection for subsequent terms.

In the event of a vacancy, the High Chancellor is empowered to appoint a replacement until the next election. This structured progression ensures that those who ascend to higher offices are well-prepared, experienced, and embody the values and objectives of the Council.
