Can a second or third year candidate change sponsors?
• Yes, candidates may change sponsors but they would also have to make changes on their Section 1 Summary Page and have it newly signed by the chapter president. If the new sponsor was originally one of the reference writers, second year candidates may secure a different reference writer and on the reference list where the original name was listed, they would insert after the new person’s name “replaces (name) who is now serving as sponsor”. This is the ONLY time a reference writer can be replaced. Reference letters from the original letter writer can be updated and substituted in the candidates file for 2nd and 3rd year candidates. (See Reference Section.
