Subject:
Deadline for Submitting Resolutions for the 2013 Spring Board Meeting
From:
Jerry Carter, 2013 Chairman, NAHB Resolutions Committee
Date:
2/19/2013
All resolutions/recommendations to be considered at the 2013 Spring Board of Directors Meeting should be submitted to NAHB preferably on or before May 9 as required by the NAHB bylaws. The intent of this requirement is to provide directors, local HBAs and association leaders with drafts of proposed resolutions prior to the meeting to ensure the fullest possible discussion of policy proposals at the grassroots level and to encourage greater participation among directors during the policy review process at NAHB board meetings. Following are the rules for submitting resolutions/recommendations:
All resolutions/recommendations must be submitted by a director currently serving on the NAHB Board of Directors and should be submitted by May 9 to the Chairman of the Board and NAHB staff.
The full resolution should be e-mailed, faxed or mailed to Rick Judson, Chairman of the Board, through Jessica Lynch at NAHB. Jessica’s e-mail address is jlynch@nahb.org. Her telephone number is: 1-800-368-5242, ext. 8401. Her fax number is 202-266-8097.
Resolutions submitted after the 30-day deadline will still be considered at the upcoming board meeting, but they will require a two-thirds vote (rather than a simple majority vote) for passage by the Board of Directors.
Shortly after the deadline, a summary of all resolutions to be considered during the Board of Directors meeting will be posted on the NAHB website. This memorandum will briefly describe each resolution and will include the name of the original sponsor, the committees/councils to which the resolution has been referred and the name of the NAHB staff contact for that particular policy. A full text of the proposed resolutions will also be posted.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jessica Lynch.
