Should the AFA-CWA Election Handbook be referenced in the AFA Constitution and Bylaws?
SOURCE AND DATE SUBMITTED: Strategic Planning Committee – March 9, 2018
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
For the past several Category Election cycles, the Election Handbook has been an important tool that is sent to all nominated candidates. It contains many excerpts from the Constitution and Bylaws, and provides additional explanations to assist candidates for Local Officer positions.
Amending this provision does not change any practice or procedure, but merely clarifies by informing members of the Election Handbook.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION:
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Article VIII.D. be amended to add a new D.4. as follows:
Article VIII.D.
- AFA-CWA Election Handbook
The AFA Election Handbook is a member’s guide to the AFA-CWA election process and is available on the Union’s website. Upon request, printed copies may be provided by the International Office.
