Any VVA member, chapter or state council may submit a proposal for a constitutional amendment. The support of a chapter or state council is not necessary but may increase the chance an amendment will be accepted by the delegates at the convention. In cases where an individual member/chapter/state council sponsored amendment duplicates, resembles, and/or addresses the same section of the Constitution as an amendment submitted by a national committee, the individual member/chapter/state council amendment will not be reported out, and delegates will have the opportunity to debate and to amend the committee-sponsored amendment on the floor of the convention.
