Resolutions Communique #7

Submitted by: Sheila Quinn

Dear League Sisters,

A day after I mailed communique #6 I received one from my National counterpart and as diocesan Fall meetings are planned thought this is an opportunity to pass on the following information from her:

Criteria for National Resolutions
As a result of discussions held on the convention floor in Montreal more discerning work needs to be done to Appendix 1 of the CWL National Manual of Policy & Procedures.

It is hoped that the resolution advisory committee will have worked details and suggestions for improvement which will be presented to the national executive at their November meeting. These changes will deal mainly with issues of national interest that would normally be dealt with by a/territorial level of government, e.g.education/and or some health issues.

New information will be mailed as soon as it is available.

Diocesan meetings are a great opportunity to encourage parish councils to start planning resolutions for next year. Make sure they have a copy of the National Manual of Policy & Procedure with Appendix 1 where all the information of preparing and presenting resolutions is listed, offer any assistance needed and I am also available.

Hope your meetings will be productive and well attended. What an opportunity to talk up resolutions with enthusiasm, invite councils to “take up the challenge” to produce a resolution this year.

Your League Sister,
Sheila
