Submitting a resolution to the 2007 WAFP House of Delegates

1.    Deadline for submission of resolutions to the 2008 House of Delegates
       is 60 days prior to the meeting.  Resolutions must be received by the
       WAFP office no later than March 10, 2008 to be included in the House
       of Delegates Manual.  Resolutions received after this date will not be
       accepted and will have to be introduced as late resolutions at the
       House (see #5 below).

2.    Resolutions to the HOD usually come from local chapters.  If you have
       an idea for policy or a project for the WAFP, contact your local chapter president                 
       to find out when your local chapter will meet to consider
       resolutions to forward to the House of Delegates.  Other resolutions
       come from WAFP Commissions and Committees.  Individuals may
       submit resolutions to the House of Delegates, however, this requires
       that two members sign on to the resolution.

3.    You will be asked to supply some additional information in support of
       your resolution in order to assist the House of Delegates in their
       deliberations.  If possible, please supply this at the time you submit
       your resolution.  WAFP staff can assist you in answering these questions:

    a.    Does your resolution advance a current priority of the WAFP or are
           you asking for a new direction or policy?
    b.    Is there a particular commission/committee/task force of the WAFP
           that would be appropriate to assign the work required by this
           resolution? If so, what level of assistance would you be willing to
           provide to this group?
           ( ) N/A, policy statement only, no new work required
           ( ) Background information/resource person only
           ( ) Would work on this as a project
           ( ) Would be willing to be appointed to this commission/committee/task force

4.    All resolutions that require significant investment of WAFP resources
       (money or staff time) must contain a fiscal note.  WAFP staff can help
       you develop an appropriate fiscal note for your resolution.

5.    Late resolutions are discouraged.  Late resolutions should be limited to
       issues that were not knowable in time to be prepared in advance AND
       that require action by the House this year (as opposed to waiting
       another year or being dealt with by the Board of Directors during the year).
       Appropriate late resolutions might include urgent items to be submitted
       to the AAFP Congress, or items that represent major changes in WAFP
       direction or policy, and so deserve to be considered by the House
       rather than the Board.
