The ASPAN Resolutions Task Force is announcing the Call for Resolutions for the 2010 Representative Assembly (RA) meeting on April 18, 2010 in New Orleans, LA.
The RA is the voting body of ASPAN. As the chief policy determining structure of ASPAN, the RA reviews and acts upon resolutions regarding ASPAN bylaws, policies, position statements and other issues related to perianesthesia nursing. If you, as a member, believe there is an issue of this nature that needs to be brought before the RA, please contact the National Office to have a sample resolution form sent to you.
The following groups may submit a resolution to the RA:
- The ASPAN Board of Directors
- An ASPAN Committee
- An ASPAN Component
- A group of five or more members (with five signatures on the resolution form)
- Resolution forms relating to bylaws changes – no later than December 19, 2009.
- Resolution forms relating to position statements, policy matters or other issues – no later than January 18, 2010.
Resolutions must be received in the ASPAN National Office no later than the above dates.
Upon receipt of a resolution, the Resolutions Task Force will review it and, if questions arise, the lead author will be contacted for clarification. At the RA meeting, the lead author of the resolution needs to be prepared to speak to the issue.
Please contact Kevin Dill at the ASPAN National Office: 877-737-9696 ext. 11 or kdill@aspan.org to obtain a sample resolution form and instruction sheet.
