Resolutions for consideration at the Fall Board meeting should be submitted to NAHB on or before Sept. 3, 2009, in accordance with the NAHB bylaws. The intent of this requirement is to provide local HBAs and association leaders with drafts of proposed resolutions/ recommendations prior to the meeting to assure the fullest possible discussion of policy proposals at the grassroots level and among directors as part of the policy review process.

A memo explaining the deadline and process for submitting resolutions was sent by Resolutions Committee Chairman Tom Woods to NAHB Directors, Executive Board members, and state and local HBA Executive Offficers on June 18.

As outlined in that memo, resolutions/recommendations submitted after the deadline will still be considered at the upcoming Board meeting, but will require a two-thirds vote (rather than a simple majority) for passage by the Board of Directors. A summary of resolutions that have been submitted by the Sept. 3 deadline will be posted on NAHB.org.

Please direct any questions about the resolutions-review process to Jessica Lynch at 800-368-5242  x8401. [Return to top]
