Overview of the Resolution Process
The resolution process begins with each NACS member. Resolutions are the backbone of existence for NACS. Members should be encouraged to submit resolutions using the online process established on the NACS web site. After the conclusion of the convention the final adopted committee report will be submitted to the respective National Administrators. The committees will discuss the returned report with the various representatives and the final report with all comments will be posted to the NACS FSA website.
Objectives: The purpose of the resolution database is to accomplish the following:
- Provide a single place for members to submit resolutions.
- Allow other members to view submitted resolutions throughout the year, to involve more members in the process and obtain differing points of view.
- Provide for a uniform method of printing out resolutions so all committees have the same format, look and feel
Submit resolutions as follows: (www.nacs-fsa.org)
- Under the Committees section, select the appropriate committee
- Click on the Submit a Resolution button
- Complete the data fields as appropriate. When finished entering your resolution select Submit to send the resolution.
Resolutions may also be submitted in writing at Zone Meetings and the National Convention by using the NACS Resolution Form found on the at www.nacs-fsa.org under documents / forms or the form in the back of this guide.
NACS Technical Forum
NACS-FSA has established a Microsoft Teams channel under the FPAC-FSA-NACS-FSA Teams "Technical Corrections" page to address technical items such as misspelled words, missing references and any other basic technical corrections that don't rise to the level of necessitating a NACS resolution to determine the support for the technical issue amongst the NACS membership. Please reach out to the National NACS President or Secretary to be added to the Teams channel. Submission of a NACS resolution that falls into this category will be reposted to this forum/channel by the NACS committee to which the original resolution was submitted.
NACS-FSA Committee Survey
NACS Committee members are appointed by the NACS President to serve a one-year term that ends after the next convention. Committee members are selected based on their interest, initiative and willingness to work.
Committee service will require a good deal of your time, effort and some personal financial expense. Attendance at meetings with the agency may be needed to discuss resolutions. Legislative Issues committee members are expected to attend the legislative initiative activities in WDC as necessary and requested by the NACS Board. Service may also be needed to work on special topics such as task forces, etc. Alternate committee members assist the primary member in each zone.
To assist in the appointment process, the committee survey is distributed to all members, especially those in attendance at the National Convention. This survey indicates your interest. If you are not selected for a primary or alternate committee position, this information will also be used, as needed, to select members to serve on special NACS committees and task forces throughout the year.
The committee survey may be submitted online at www.nacs-fsa.org under Committees – Sign up for committees. The form may be found under documents on the same website as well as in the back of this guide.
