Guidelines for Preparation of ALA Resolutions

Below are the guidelines for preparation of resolutions for the ALA Council and Membership, as well as mutual content documents (i.e., resolution samples, resolution forms, etc.). PLEASE NOTE that both the Resolution e-Form and Proposed Resolution for Council and Membership must be submitted electronically to Larry Romans, chair, Resolutions Committee, alaresolutions@ala.org, before the Resolution can be brought before the ALA Council or Membership for consideration.
After you have submitted your Resolution e-Form, you will receive a confirmation email; however, you will not receive a confirmation for your emailed resolution.

If you require assistance with this process, you can email Larry Romans or visit the Resolutions Committee Table#12, ALA Office Area, Anaheim Convention Center, Hall C. The Resolutions Committee Table schedule is listed below. The ALA parliamentarian, Eli Mina, will also be available at the ALA Resolutions Table for consultation on parliamentary procedures as his schedule permits.
