Call for Resolutions and Proposed Bylaws Amendments for 2014 General Assembly The ENA General Assembly meets before the start of the ENA Annual Conference to determine official association policy and positions by reviewing, debating and voting on proposed bylaws amendments and resolutions. This is your opportunity to bring important professional emergency nursing issues to the 2014 General Assembly. Resolutions may be submitted by any active ENA member. Others who may submit resolutions include the ENA Board of Directors, state councils, chapters, the Journal of Emergency Nursing editorial board and ENA committees. Bylaws amendments may be proposed by the ENA Board of Directors, state councils and chapters or five active members of the association. All resolutions and proposed bylaws amendments must be submitted in the proper template form and must follow the format as outlined in the Resolutions and Bylaw Guidelines. The guidelines may be found at www.ena.org in the General Assembly area (members only). The Resolutions Committee is available to help ENA members develop their proposals. This assistance provides members with additional resources to effectively write proposed bylaws amendments and resolutions
before the deadline. If you are interested in bringing a resolution or proposed bylaws amendment to the 2014 General Assembly, it is recommended that you begin drafting your proposal and working with the Resolutions Committee no later than December. Please contact ENA Component Relations at componentrelations@ena.org to obtain assistance from the Resolutions Committee. Final resolution submissions must be sent to componentrelations@ena.org by Saturday, March 1, 2014. Per ENA Bylaws, proposed bylaws amendments must be submitted at least 90 days prior to the General Assembly, no later than Thursday, July 10, 2014. However, it is highly recommended for proposed bylaws amendments to be submitted by March 1 to allow the Resolutions Committee adequate time to thoroughly review amendment proposals and to work with the authors to finalize amendments for inclusion in the General Assembly Handbook. Formal consideration of proposed bylaws amendments and resolutions will occur at the 2014 General Assembly, Oct. 8 - 9, in Indianapolis.
