Resolutions deadline extended to June 30
AUMA is extending the deadline for submission of resolutions from May 31 to June 30 in order to provide members with some extra time to complete and approve resolutions that they would like considered at the 2020 Convention.
Process
Please keep in mind that AUMA’s updated Resolutions Policy requires a resolution that is sponsored by a single member’s council to be seconded by another member’s council. Check out AUMA’s 2020 Resolutions Guide and Template for guidance on preparing a resolution.
Resolutions will be classified as issues that align with AUMA’s current strategic initiatives, or as “other issues.”
All resolutions adopted at Convention will be sent to the appropriate provincial and/or federal ministry or organization for response. The relevant AUMA standing committee will then review and recommend any further advocacy to AUMA's Board of Directors.
Convention 2020
The format of the 2020 Convention is yet to be determined. AUMA staff are closely monitoring the directions from all levels of government related to the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to consider and develop a plan for the event over the coming weeks and months.
Members are encouraged to reach out to advocacy [at] auma.ca (AUMA staff) for assistance and/or submit resolutions early so we can ensure each resolution meets the criteria set out in our Resolutions Policy.
