National PTA Announces New Process for Proposed Resolutions and Bylaws Amendments   To provide for the safety of our members, delegates, volunteers and staff, National PTA’s Annual Convention will be held virtually this year. During this year's Virtual Convention, delegates will have the opportunity to vote on proposed resolutions and proposed bylaws amendments.   Due to the limitations of conducting business with hundreds of delegates in a virtual setting, however, there will not be debate nor amendments on either the proposed resolutions or the proposed bylaws amendments during the Convention. Instead, input, feedback and voting on the proposed resolutions and bylaws amendments will be handled differently. New Process for 2021 Virtual Convention From March 22 through April 9, 2021: Members who wish to comment on the proposed bylaws amendments may do so by using the comment form linked within each bylaws amendment document on the Proposed Resolutions and Bylaws Amendments webpage. Members who wish to comment on the proposed resolutions may do so by using the comment form located toward the bottom of the same webpage. Receipt of each comment will be acknowledged after clicking Done at the end of each form. The comment period will close Friday, April 9, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. EDT. All comments will be shared with National PTA’s Bylaws and Resolutions Committees. The Committees will review and consider every comment and may use those comments to recommend amendments to the National PTA Board of Directors. The Board of Directors must approve any changes to the proposed resolutions or bylaws amendments submitted by the respective Committees. The final version of the proposed resolutions and the proposed bylaws amendments will be posted on the webpage Monday, May 3. After this date, the proposed resolutions and bylaws amendments cannot be changed. Registered Convention delegates who are credentialed to vote will have the opportunity to vote “For” or “Against” each proposed bylaws amendment and each proposed resolution via an electronic vote Thursday, June 17. Announcements of the voting results will be made during the week of the Virtual Convention. Make Your Comments Questions? For any questions on the proposed bylaws amendments or the proposed resolutions, please email the Bylaws Committee at Bylaws@PTA.org or the Resolutions Committee at Resolutions@PTA.org.
