Resolution FAQ

What is a Resolution?
A resolution is a formal request to change the constitution, election rules, a by-law or policy at MAPE that is considered by the Delegate Assembly. 

When are Resolutions due?
Resolutions are due Aug. 11, 2023

How do I write a Resolution?
A power point, video and Delegate Assembly Resolution Template are all available below.

How do I submit my resolution?
Send your resolution to C&RCommittee@mape.org

Why can't I use Track Changes in MS Word?
While Track Changes looks like you used underlines and strike-throughs, Track Changes does not copy and paste correctly. Also, if you make a change and then undue the change, Track Changes records and presents both actions instead of canceling the first action.
