Resolutions Committee

October 6, 2021

Three members required – term expires June 30, 2021

The Federation is requesting expressions of interest from councillors who would like to serve on the Resolutions Committee. The Committee serves as a significant support to the governance of the Federation by examining each resolution and notice of motion that is submitted for consideration.

This Committee meets two to three times a year (initially in February) and consists of councillors and Federation staff. Potential candidates must be councillors of the Federation (elected by their local associations). Experience as a member of the Resolutions Committee will be considered an asset but is not required.

Terms of Reference:

  1. To receive, edit and accept or reject resolutions moved by members in accordance with Federation bylaws and policies approved by Council and resolutions procedures developed by Federation administration.
  2. To treat as confidential, the deliberations of the Resolutions Committee regarding the adjudication of resolutions.
  3. To carry out other responsibilities as requested by the Executive.
  4. To move, through the Resolutions Committee chairperson, en bloc and courtesy resolutions.
  5. To be available during meetings of Council to receive late resolutions and determine the status of these resolutions in accordance with resolutions procedures.
  6. To receive a report from administration outlining changes to background material of resolutions.
