March / April 2009
BY FRED ELLIOTT, CHAIR
The time for submitting resolutions has passed. If you submitted a resolution to the national office, it was assigned an official resolution number. A letter of acknowledgment was sent to you listing the resolution’s number and the committee or task force to which it had been referred. The proposed resolution was reviewed by the Resolutions Committee to verify that the official submission form was used, that it was postmarked by March 28, and that the financial statement was attached, if required.
When the Resolutions Committee’s review is complete, the resolution will be sent to the appropriate committee or task force. However, if a proposed resolution is found to be incomplete, it will be returned to the author by certified mail, return receipt requested. You will then have until the postmark deadline of April 10, 2009, to resubmit the resolution.
The National Board of Directors will be presented the proposed resolutions at its April 2009 meeting for review and comments. A final package of resolutions with committee and task force recommendations will be sent to all state councils and chapters by first-class mail no later than May 20, 2009.
At the Convention, committee hearings will be held to allow the committees, task forces, and delegates time to review all relevant resolutions before they are presented to the delegates on the Convention floor.
The 2009 Convention Resolutions Committee: Fred Elliott, Chair. Members: John Weiss, Patrick Welch, and Bruce Whitaker. Staff Liaison: Sharon Hodge.
