CALL FOR AGENDA ITEMS FOR MARCH 2010 BUSINESS MEETING AGENDA:

At its September 2000 meeting, the WPSA Executive Council approved a policy recommended by the Constitution and Bylaws Committee that provides a timely process for members at large to request the placement of items on the agenda of the annual members’ Business Meeting. The policy follows:

“The Executive Director shall, in fall preceding each annual business meeting, request items for the agenda of that meeting. Proposed items will be placed on the agenda of the next business meeting under ‘New Business’ in the order in which proposals endorsed by at least twenty-five (25) dues-paying members of the Western Political Science Association from three or more separate institutions shall be received by the Executive Director. Such proposals must be received by the Executive Director on or before December 10. The Executive Director shall notify the membership of the association of all properly endorsed agenda items in the mailing that includes or notes the preliminary program of the annual meeting each spring.”

Proposals for agenda items are now welcome, and should be sent to: hprc@pdx.edu.
