Next Steps for Candidates

We would like to ask the following items to be received in relation to each of the nominees for Commander of the family and clan of Logan:

• A photo of the candidate showing at least the candidate's head and shoulders (a 'headshot') with a neutral background and no one else in the photo

• A letter of nomination from the person who would like to see the nominee become the Commander

• A paragraph from a second person supporting the nominee becoming the Commander

• An essay from the nominee detailing

  • their interest in becoming the Commander,

  • how they would help to find a living heir to the title of Chief of Name and Arms of Logan (if this person exists)

  • how they would represent the Family and Clan of Logan in both formal and informal settings and events

  • personal background and how that has influenced their desire to be the Commander

Please submit these items as soon as possible. Although the deadline for all nominees is 26 January 2025, it is the intention of the Society to publish blogs and newsletter articles regarding each of the nominees throughout 2024, leading up to the derbhfine. We want to make certain that everyone interested in the process of selecting the Commander has as much time as possible to become familiar with the nominees.
