Resolutions:
The purpose of the Committee on Nominations and Resolutions is to review resolutions prior to their presentation, for voting, to the membership.
Responsibilities:
- To determine that the proposed resolution originated from an appropriate source.
- To review resolutions for clarity of content. If the meaning is not clear, resolve the issue with the source committee chair.
- To determine if there are duplicate resolutions so they can be combined into one.
- To determine if there are conflicting resolutions. Determine if the differences can be resolved by discussion with the appropriate committee chairs.
- The Resolutions Committee cannot independently change the content (meaning) of a resolution. This is the sole prerogative of the originating committee. Spelling and grammatical errors may be corrected by the Resolutions Committee.
- The Resolutions Committee may not reject a resolution. This is the responsibility of the membership vote. In the event it is felt a resolution is extremely controversial and may be detrimental to USAHA, the committee should advise the Board of Directors.
- Present resolutions for membership voting at the last morning general session of the annual meeting.
