| NCOAs legislative
agenda is determined by the following Resolutions, which are submitted
and voted upon by the general membership every year at the National
Convention. Once the Resolutions package has been approved, copies
are provided to NCOAs various legislative and departmental
contacts.
Any member may submit a resolution for consideration, as long
as the proposed resolution is in the same format as the current
resolutions and is written in such a way that it will benefit
the largest population of NCOAs membership. While specific
personal issues may be addressed on a case-by-case basis, NCOAs
official resolutions must be intended to benefit more than one
person.
In addition to submitting resolutions, members also have the
opportunity to serve on the Resolutions Committee, which is
the working group made up entirely of NCOA members that reviews
and finalizes the resolutions package before the general membership
votes on it.
If you would like to submit, amend, or request repeal of a
resolution, you must do so by May 1 of each calendar year. Please
check the NCOA Journal and NCOA News Briefs for more specific
deadlines or changes. You can submit your resolution to NCOAs
National Capital Office (NATCO) by e-mail at legislat@ncoadc.org,
by mail at 610 Madison Street, Alexandria, VA 22314, or by fax
at 703-549-0245. You may also submit an official letter of request
for a position on the Resolutions Committee by the same means;
however, to be eligible you must plan to attend the National
Convention.
