Dash,

Connections don’t really help much anyway. I recall at least one of ours made a specific request that candidates do not ask for letters from anyone not on the provided list. Don’t worry about it though. The Washington offices will likely forward mail to your local offices anyway. In the meantime, if you have the nomination request packages and your MOCs are asking for teacher reference letters, make sure you select the teachers who know you and your abilities well. Those will be much more meaningful letters than from a connection who doesn’t really know you at all. Best of luck!
