Resolutions
Each committee is assigned a section of the BORAM and is asked to evaluate its content and/or recommendations; to react to it; and, in most cases, to present formal resolutions or reports to the convention regarding it. Most resolutions will be prepared before the convention takes place. There will be time set aside for committees to meet while at the convention to continue discussing any necessary items.
As committees complete their resolutions and reports this summer, they will be posted privately on the Delegate Online Resource Center. After reports are read and resolutions are voted on at the convention, they will be posted officially below for the public to see.
