<p>Everyone “needs” only one nomination. In addition to multiple nominations sometimes helping the candidate, they often help the Academy to move appointments around in order to achieve the maximum quality for the incoming class. Therefore, I do not think the LOA comment precludes the academy’s desire for these candidates to attempt to obtain all possible nominations available.</p>
<p>Just because the rumor is that a certain MOC does things a certain way should not preclude the candidate from attempting the nomination.</p>
