    • Mission

    Local Board Members for the Selective Service System play an important community role closely connected with our nation’s defense. In the event of a draft, approximately 2,000 Selective Service local boards would decide which registrants in their respective communities receive deferments, postponements, and/or exemptions based upon established criteria.

    About Us

    Local Boards Members are nominated by the state governor or equivalent officials and appointed by the Director of the Selective Service System on behalf of the President.
