Generally speaking, it is a reasonable assuption that an LOA will translate to a nomination. But, it is not a guarantee and some MOC’s as a matter of course do not let the committee know about LOA’s. In a competative district the LOA candidate would have to do well on the nomination interview. My D was told after the fact that our MOC specifically directs his staffer not to let the committee know about her LOA and that the nomination slate is determined entirely from the committee in order to “keep the politics out of it”. Theoretically, in our area, an LOA reciptient may not get the nom. However, if the candidate is good enough for an LOA - they are likely to be good enough for the nom too.

Your son will get notice about the orientaiton. I think it came by mail, though not certian. Pretty sure D got the invite in January or February, but not certain. Anyone else remember when they began sending out the invitations to the Orientation? I know I had ample time to get cheap airplane tickets.
