Resolutions and Proposed Constitution and Bylaws Amendments 

Resolutions are motions that ask delegates to vote on a specific course of action often related to a current issue. Examples include BCNU adopting a policy or taking a position on an area of concern to the membership or broader community. 

Proposed Constitution and Bylaws amendments are motions that ask delegates to vote on adding, changing or removing an existing rule contained within a constitution or bylaw article. The Constitution and Bylaws is BCNU’s governing document.
