At State Convention, each resolution will be presented to the membership and defended by the presenter. The committee will then decide if the resolution will pass to the floor of the convention so the members may vote on adoption. At that time, members will be allowed to speak on the floor either in support or objection. Please note: Time may be limited. It is at the discretion of the affiliate president how much discussion time is available. If the resolution passes by membership vote on the floor, it now becomes a policy statement of the National Federation of the Blind of Florida. At times, we may receive a resolution from our National Office, which if passes, becomes a policy statement of the National Federation of the Blind of Florida.

> How may I participate in the resolutions process? Any member may write a resolution for consideration by the Resolutions Committee. The deadline to submit a resolution is Friday, September 2, 2022. Submissions to the committee after this date will not be accepted. If you have a resolution or an idea for one, please submit to:

If you have authored a resolution, you must be present at the Resolutions Committee meeting, which is open to convention attendees, at its scheduled time. You defend your resolution to the committee. If you are not able to be present, then you must have another member present your resolution to the membership at the open committee meeting.
