Which body certifies credentialed delegates and reports their number to the membership?

• A. Rules Committee
• B. Credentials Committee
• C. Leadership Committee
• D. Bylaws Committee

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is who verifies who is authorized to participate in the meeting and how many such participants there are. That job belongs to the Credentials Committee. They review and confirm each delegate’s eligibility to vote, certify those credentials, and report the total number of credentialed delegates to the membership. This reporting helps establish quorum and shows the body its voting strength for decisions. The other options focus on different roles: Rules handles parliamentary procedure, Bylaws handles changes to the governing rules, and a Leadership Committee isn’t the body that certifies delegates.
