New Business Items are due to the NSEA office by April 7, 2008 to be included in the DA Workbook. Download the form to submit a New Business Item.
* A Bylaws Amendment. A Bylaws Amendment would change the governing documents of the Association. For example, a particular section of the Bylaws could be altered to add additional duties to the job description of the president. Bylaws Amendments must be submitted in writing by March 25, 2008. Delegates to the DA may submit a Bylaws Amendment from the floor of the DA, as long as sufficient copies of the amendment for all delegates are made available at that time.

* A Resolution. A Resolution is a statement of belief. For example: "The NSEA believes that all students should have a safe environment in which to learn." Delegates annually consider a lengthy series of Resolutions, many of which carry over from year to year. Resolutions are due in the NSEA office no later than April 7, 2007 to be included in the DA Workbook. Download the form to submit a Resolution.
* A Standing or Procedural Rule. Such rules govern how the DA will operate. For example, a local may want the NSEA to furnish a pen and notebook for each delegate. Such proposals submitted by March 25, 2008, and require a majority vote of delegates for approval. If submitted at the Delegate Assembly, the same proposal would require a two-thirds majority vote for approval. Download the form to submit a change to a Standing or Procedural Rule.
