2010 AWF Annual Conference: Resolutions & Petitions

All who wish to submit resolutions to the 2010 Alabama - West Florida Annual Conference should follow these guidelines.

The AWF Conference Committee on Resolutions and Petitions processes all resolutions addressed to the General, Jurisdictional, and Annual conferences.  The chairperson of the Committee on Resolutions and Petitions will consult as needed with the submitter of the resolution and those agencies of the Annual Conference that are affected by the resolution.
 
Resolutions must be submitted to Rev Gerald Shelton, chairperson, Committee on Resolutions and Petitions, at fumcmilton@bellsouth.net. 
 

Resolutions should be submitted in the following format:

o Use MS Word software
o Use Times New Roman font – 12 point type
o Use 1 inch margins – top, bottom, left, right
o Single space paragraphs; double space between paragraphs
o Block paragraphs: do not indent first line
o Listings within paragraphs – indent and use bullets for each item; use numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) only if the sequence of the items is significant.
o Number all pages of the resolution consecutively in the upper right-hand corner

The submitter’s name, title, telephone number, and email address must be included with the resolution. 
 

To allow the committee time to meet and review proposed resolutions, the deadline for submitting resolutions to appear in the Brochure of Reports is February 1.  
 

If submitted after February 1, the deadline for submitting resolutions is 30 days before the beginning of annual conference.  The maker of a resolution submitted after the February 1 deadline shall be responsible for providing copies of the resolution for all voting members present at the annual conference session.  (Copies should be given to the chairperson, Committee on Resolutions and Petitions.)
 

The only exception to the deadlines identified above is in cases where the author of a late petition demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Committee on Resolutions and Petitions that the situation which gave rise to making the petition was not apparent until after the established deadlines.  In such cases, the late petition must be received at least 48 hours prior to the opening of annual conference for the committee to have time to meet and consider it.  The maker of the resolution shall be responsible for providing copies of the resolution for all voting members present at the annual conference session.  (Copies should be given to the chairperson, Committee on Resolutions and Petitions).
