The resolutions we adopt are the policy of the affiliate and prioritize our work. For example, a few years ago, we passed a resolution calling upon our Colorado General Assembly to enact a law that would protect the rights of blind and other parents with disabilities in all aspects of parenting. That resolution did in fact lead to the passage of a very strong parental rights law here in Colorado. So, it goes almost without saying that the resolutions process is very important to our organization.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This message is to encourage any of you to submit draft resolutions or resolution ideas to our Committee. Brent Batron and Dan Burke will co-chair our Resolutions Committee, and each chapter/division will appoint a representative to the Committee. The Committee will meet at 8:30 am on Friday, November 1<sup>st</sup> at the Fort Collins Hilton. Please get any draft resolutions or resolution ideas to Dan and Brent by October 18, 2019, sooner if you can.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:bbatron@cocenter.org">bbatron@cocenter.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:dburke@cocenter.org">dburke@cocenter.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Some times people allow the rather arcane format of resolutions to hold them back from submitting one.
