    Topic: Proposed 2012 CFUW & CFUW Ontario Council Resolutions

    The April General Meeting is reserved each year to present, amend, discuss and vote on draft resolutions proposed by CFUW clubs or the national or provincial Boards for adoption as policy at the national or provincial AGMs of the same year. CFUW-Ottawa Issues Committees review the resolutions and formulate recommendations for presentation at the Resolutions meeting. A quorum of 10 percent of members, currently 512-strong, and a majority vote is required for a draft resolution to pass in our Club. The comments and amendments to resolutions resulting from the Club vote at the April meeting are submitted to CFUW Ontario Council or to CFUW National, as appropriate. Final drafts are developed which are voted upon at the AGMs. If adopted, draft resolutions become part of CFUW policy on behalf of which Clubs may advocate.
