I am wondering if there is going to be just 1 merit source per local section or there can be more? Too many would be counterproductive, but 2 or 3, depending on the board, could help improve the section.
If they understand English too then there can't be too many per local board as they can award the english posts too.
From what you say, I think I misunderstood how local merit sources work. I thought they were limited to give a certain amount of merits in that specific local board. Isnt that the case? If it isnt, I think I made mistake when I applied to be a merit source, I should have applied to be a local merit source. I didnt because I spent much more time on the English section than on the Spanish one, although I visit the Spanish one regularly.
