The Community Health Nurses' Initiatives Group (CHNIG) is encouraging our members to submit resolutions for review and discussion at the CHNIG Annual General Meeting. The deadline for resolutions this year is Friday, June 3, 2022 5pm EST. Members who submit resolutions to CHNIG’s 2022 AGM are raising the profile of important issues, and engaging colleagues in discussions that matter to community health nursing.

Call for Resolutions Guidelines 

  1. The resolution must bear the support of RNAO CHNIG member(s) in good standing for 2022
  2. A maximum of 500 words backgrounder must accompany each resolution and the font used must be no smaller than Arial 10 or Times New Roman 11. Margins on this one page must also be reasonable, e.g. an absolute minimum of 0.7 margin all around. 
  3. The resolution must be relevant to the CHNIG mission and goals.
  4. For clarity of purpose and precision in the wording of your resolution, we recommend that each resolution include no more than three ‘Whereas’; and preferably only one, but never more than two, ‘Therefore Be It Resolved'.
  5. Please refer to an example of a resolution that CHNIG previously submitted to the RNAO.

Review of Resolutions 
All resolutions will be reviewed by the CHNIG Resolutions Committee. 

The CHNIG Resolutions Committee shall:

  • receive and prepare resolutions for presentation to the CHNIG AGM Meeting;
  • have power to give preference to an affirmative resolution over a negative one on the same subject;
  • have power to eliminate duplications on resolutions submitted;
  • have power to determine the order of priority in presenting resolutions;
  • have power to edit resolutions without the intent of the resolution being changed;
  • have power to reject a resolution that CHNIG already considered previously, or not relevant to CHNIG mission and goals; and
  • have power to reject a resolution which it considers, upon legal advice, to be in conflict with the law or which it considers to be a matter upon which action has been taken by, is under study by, or is beyond the power of the Interest Group.

 
The CHNIG resolutions committee shall prepare a report which shall be circulated to the members of the Interest Group at least one week before the date of the annual meeting. The report shall list all the accepted resolutions, which will be discussed at the CHNIG AGM on June 21, 2022.
