The Resolution Process
It is very important that members of the Academy realize
that policy changes regarding the recommended care of children
and for membership concerns are made through the process of
resolution submission, and to know how to do this. The
purpose of a resolution is to provide a formal mechanism whereby
the members of the Academy can provide input regarding Academy
policies and activities. You will find the following links
to be helpful (you may have to log in to the Members Only
Channel):
-
Guidelines
for Submitting Resolutions - Using this PDF
document will help organize your ideas and clarify the
intent of your resolution. This year's deadline for
the 2012 ALF is December 1, 2011.
-
Previous
resolutions - All resolutions that have been written in
the past 12 years
are now available through the Members Only Channel of the AAP
web site. This search site will help you to determine whether or
not a resolution dealing with this subject is necessary.
It is also helpful to review AAP
Policy Statements which may already address your
concerns.
The
Annual Leadership Forum provides the process for committees,
councils, sections (represented by their chairpersons or their
duly authorized representative who must be an Academy Fellow), Chapter
presidents and vice presidents to advise the AAP Board of
Directors on issues of importance from the AAP membership.
The Annual Leadership Forum serves in an advisory capacity to
the Board of Directors, providing a primary communication link
between the grassroots and the policymaking bodies of the
Academy.
