In accordance with the NCMS Bylaws, all resolutions to be considered by the House of Delegates (HOD) at its annual meeting in October must be submitted at least forty-five (45) days before the first meeting of the HOD. The deadline for submission of resolutions is September 12, 2012.
All resolutions from component medical societies, sections or medical specialty organizations must bear the signature of two officers of each respective organization. Otherwise, the resolution will need to be submitted by an individual delegate. Resolutions arriving after the deadline will be considered late resolutions. In order to be considered business of the House, late resolutions will have to be presented by a delegate at the first session of the HOD for approval by two-thirds of the delegates present at the meeting of the HOD and meet the criteria for late resolutions (i.e., urgency and importance to the goals and objectives of the NCMS). Late resolutions should be submitted no later than 5:00 pm on Thursday, October 25.
All resolutions should both be mailed to Robert W. Seligson, EVP/CEO, NCMS, PO Box 27167, Raleigh, NC 27611 and submitted electronically to [email protected]. For more information, contact Linda Carter at 800-722-1350.
