Resolution Submission Guidance for PACs and DPACs
We urge all member PACs and DPACs to thoroughly read the following documents to effectively participate in the resolution process:
- Resolutions Guide: A comprehensive manual detailing the steps and considerations in crafting a resolution.
- Policy 4020 - Member Resolutions: Outlines the policy containing protocols for submitting proposed resolutions for consideration at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
- Policy 4030 - Archival of Resolutions: Outlines the process for archiving resolutions.
Members are required to submit their proposed resolutions using the current Resolution Submission Form. This form is designed for digital convenience: download it to your computer, complete it, save and then sign. Afterward, it can be easily forwarded for additional signatures.
Special Resolutions
Special resolutions are distinct as they can:
- Amend our Constitution or Bylaws (BCCPAC Bylaws 9.2).
- Call for the removal of a BCCPAC Director (BCCPAC Bylaws 5.20).
- Seek authorization for the Board to issue debentures (BCCPAC Bylaws 8.5).
- Propose to restrict the borrowing powers of the Board until the next AGM (BCCPAC Bylaw 8.7).
Deadline for Special Resolutions: We strongly recommend that you submit any Special Resolutions as early as possible to allow for comprehensive review and discussion prior to the AGM.
Special resolutions MUST be submitted by February 24, 2024.
Ordinary Resolutions
Ordinary resolutions typically advocate for changes to our public education system or provide directives to the Board of Directors.
Ordinary resolutions may be submitted at any time. Like the Special Resolutions above, we strongly recommend that you submit any Ordinary Resolutions as early as possible to allow for comprehensive review and discussion prior to the AGM.
