Calling For Resolutions
by Sue Neitzert, Resolutions Chair

THE RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE to be active this year. Please help! Many of you I am sure have great ideas you think the NADE Board or the membership should consider adopting. You probably wonder, how do I come up with a resolution? A basic resolution follows this format:


WHEREAS, NADE members are a great asset to the disability program due to their knowledge; and

WHEREAS, NADE members have the right and responsibility to make recommendations to the NADE Board and other members concerning recommended policies and positions for the disability program;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that NADE members send their ideas as resolutions to the Resolution's Chair or their Regional Committee Member for consideration.

Send your resolutions to your regional representatives to the Resolutions Committee who are listed below or to myself:
