How are local concerns brought to the national level?
Local concerns are most often brought to the national level through the Governor. This can happen in a variety of ways. The most common routes are: 1. Resolutions. Four months prior to the spring and fall Board of Governors (BOG) meetings (see below), ACP members may initiate a resolution addressing any issue or topic by submitting it to their Governor and/or chapter council. A resolution becomes a resolution of the chapter once it is approved by the chapter council. Members interested in researching the College’s position on an issue prior to submitting a resolution may access this information by visiting the “Advocacy” section on ACP Online Online.resolutions database. –> In accordance with the ACP’s resolution process, resolutions should clearly distinguish the action requested within its resolved clause(s) as either a policy resolve (“Resolved that ACP policy…”), or a directive, which requests action/study on an issue (“Resolved that the Board of Regents…”).
