What is the role of the Tripoli Board of Directors in the certification process?

The role of the Tripoli Board of Directors in the certification process is primarily to review and approve member certifications for Level 1 and Level 2. This oversight ensures that the members seeking certification have met the necessary criteria and standards established by Tripoli. In this context, the board acts as a governing body that maintains the integrity and quality of the certification process. By thoroughly reviewing each application and associated documentation, the board helps uphold safety standards and ensures that members are adequately prepared for the responsibilities that come with rocketry at these levels.

Other functions, such as monitoring compliance with safety rules and training new members, while important aspects of Tripoli’s mission, are not the specific roles assigned to the Board of Directors when it comes to the certification process. The board's main focus is on the approval of member certifications, reinforcing their critical contribution to the structured advancement and safety within the rocketry community.
