What is the role of the Resolutions Committee?

The Resolutions Committee is appointed by the NSNA President with Board approval.  This committee reviews all resolutions submitted in order to ensure workable implementation before resolutions are presented to the House of Delegates.  Specifically, the committee edits, rewrites, or combines resolutions; consults with the makers of the resolutions; and rejects those resolutions that are considered unfeasible; submitted after the deadline or duplicate existing NSNA policies.

​All NSNA state and school constituents may submit one resolution  to be considered by the NSNA House of Delegates during the Annual Convention. 

Information on writing and submitting a resolution can be found on this page under resolutions resources.
