Process for Development of The 2011-2012 Agenda
The process for the development of the 2011-2012 process is basically the same as the process used to develop the 2007-2010 Agenda. The only difference is that the agenda will be for two years instead of four.
1 - Public Policy Committee reviews previous agenda for progress, solicits issues and suggestions, and examines proposals that have previously been introduced in legislature.
2 - The Committee studies the issues,discusses if issue is an issue to take a position on, if so - it researches and drafts a recommended position on the issue.
3 - Recommendations go to the Board for approval to be placed on the ratification ballot by the membership.
4 - Membership votes on each individual policy issue position for inclusion in the agenda.
5 - The policy positions that receive a majority vote become the Public Policy Agenda for the next two year cycle and serve as the guide for the work of the legislative team.
