2020 NCS

The National Council Session season OFFICIALLY opens with the Early Alert!

Here's why I don't think the 2020 NCS can be held virtually. But apparently The Powers That Be don't agree with me.

Here are my 7 reasons as to why the National Council should be the ONLY one with the authority for membership dues. Plus it's got a good beat and you can dance to it!

This blog post is an accompaniment to The 2020 NCS:  Proposals 2 through 4 – I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) post and covers the timeline about membership dues that is presented in the 2020 Early Alert & Workbook. Want to know the REAL story as to what happened when it came to membership dues the past 12 years?

These questions should be answered before we head into a virtual National Council Session to make sure the integrity of our organization stays intact. Don't worry - a parliamentary procedure certification is not necessary to read this one!

The 2020 Workbook can be downloaded in this blog post. And maybe some blueberry pie.

It's the The 2020 NCS: Proposals 2 through 4 – I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) - as a webinar!

Cliff Notes version, I promise!

Find out about the Stewardship Report here - happening September 9th!

You need to know what passing Proposals 2 through 4 (membership dues authority) REALLY means. It's more than just annual dues.

Keeping Proposal 2 from passing gives the National Council options in the future.

No questions for you!

All interrupting motions are now allowed per the updated Standing Rules!

Did you know that in addition to amending the Standing Rules, you can also amend the agenda to reorder proposals?  Yes, you can! There's talk out there that there may be an attempt to hear Proposal 4 (Membership Dues Increase Restriction) first.  You don't want to do that, and here's why.

Last minute news!  Cheryl Waybright will be a nomination from the floor running as a National Board Member at Large.  Read the scoop from GSG.

Here's my cynical and sarcastic wrap-up of what all went on.
