Resolutions Process

Leadership Council Sets Policy

The NAHB Leadership Council is responsible for setting the policy of the association. As directed by the NAHB Bylaws, all resolutions, recommendations and policy statements (“resolutions”) to be considered by the Leadership Council must be proposed by a current NAHB delegate and should be submitted for distribution 30 days prior to a meeting. This time frame provides delegates, local HBAs and association leaders with drafts of proposed resolutions before the meeting to ensure the fullest possible discussion of policy proposals at the grassroots level and to encourage greater participation among delegates during the policy review process.

A resolution submitted after the 30 days advance notice, but no later than seven (7) days before the Leadership Council meeting, can still be considered but must pass by a two-thirds (2/3) vote.

Resolutions submitted fewer than seven (7) days prior to the Leadership Council meeting shall be considered only if the Resolutions Committee determines that the matter qualifies as an emergency and shall be considered an emergency submission. Emergency submission(s) requires a three-fourths (3/4) vote of the Leadership Council for adoption. The Emergency Resolution Submission Criteria can be viewed at the link below.

The full resolution should be emailed or mailed to the Chairman of the Board of Directors through [email protected].
