Annual Business Meeting

The annual membership business meeting is held at the conference. Each year membership may submit resolutions for consideration at the business meeting. The role of the committee and the process for submitting resolutions is:

Resolution Committee: The President of the Southeastern Association of Area Agencies on Aging shall appoint a By-Laws/Resolutions/Procedures Committee, which shall be chaired by the SE4A Second Vice President.

Rule I: A resolution offered by a member organization shall be in writing, signed by the maker, and pre-filed with the Chair of the By-Laws/Resolutions/Procedures Committee no later than 10 calendar days prior to the Annual Business Meeting.

Rule II: The By-Laws/Resolutions/Procedures Committee shall meet prior to the annual business meeting to review submitted resolutions for clarity and duplication. The Committee shall, with the concurrence of the proposed makers, combine similar resolutions. Resolutions approved at the Annual Business Meeting become the position of the Association unless the resolution includes language requiring a mail vote of the membership.

Rule III: In presenting the resolutions before the membership, the By-Laws/Resolutions/ Procedures Committee shall not make recommendations, pro or con, regarding such resolutions. The Chairperson of the Committee shall present the resolutions before the annual business meeting. The SE4A President shall preside over any votes that may be cast during the meeting.

Rule IV: No resolution may be considered at the annual business meeting or special membership meeting of SE4A unless presented by the By-Laws/Resolutions/Procedures Committee except:

• resolutions by the Board of Directors
  
  
• resolutions proposed and seconded directly from the floor with the concurrence of the membership by a majority vote. Such a resolution shall require a two-thirds vote for passage.
