In accordance with the North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS) Bylaws, all resolutions to be considered by the House of Delegates at its Annual Meeting on October 23-24, 2015 must be submitted at least forty-five (45) days before the first meeting of the House of Delegates. The deadline for submission of resolutions this year is September 8, 2015.

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, and in order to be considered the business of the House will have to be presented by a delegate at the first session of the House of Delegates for approval by two-thirds of the delegates present at the meeting of the House of Delegates 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 p.m. on Wednesday, October 22.

All resolutions should be mailed to Robert W. Seligson, EVP/CEO, NCMS, PO Box 27167, Raleigh, NC 27611 and submitted electronically to Abbey Ruggiero at [email protected]. For more information, contact Abbey via email at [email protected].
