Constitution COMMITTEE REPORT
BY BILL MESSER, CHAIR
The Constitution Committee has started
to receive Proposed Constitution Amendments. Some concerns
by members have been noted about the requirement for on-line
submissions. This process is not new and was not put in place
to make it more difficult to submit proposals, but to ensure
accurate tracking of submittals, legibility, time saving,
and an efficient distribution. Proposed amendments we received
prior to the notice will be reviewed and included in our
committee reports. We urge State Council Presidents to help
chapters and members get access to computers.
We understand
and appreciate that without the Proposed Constitution Amendments
our growth, our ability to change with the times, and the
ideas to make our organization what it is today would not
be possible.
Included in each upcoming issue of The VVA Veteran
prior to the Convention will be instructions on how to use
the on-line process to submit your Proposed Constitution
Amendments. They are:
STEP 1: Go to: http: //www.vva.org/forms/constitutional_amendment.html
STEP
2: Fill out the form in its entirety
STEP 3: When completed,
click “submit,” and you
will receive an immediate receipt of your submission.
The
VVA Constitution provides timelines for the Constitution
Committee, hence the importance of deadlines for submittals.
Please don’t forget that we will not accept any Proposed
Constitutional Amendments after March 19.
