The SDAFS Resolutions Consideration and Adoption Process
Current Resolutions
There are no resolutions for consideration by the membership at this time (01/31/2015).
Chapters and Chapter Subunits are encouraged to submit resolutions. Every fishery encompasses three essential elements: habitat, aquatic species and people. Any issue that impacts those elements may be worthy of a Division resolution. The committee has not considered any resolutions on marine fisheries issues in several years. Resolutions should be sent to Gene Wilde, Resolutions Committee Chairman (gene.wilde@ttu.edu) w. 806-742-2715 ext 290. Resolutions can be submitted at any time but they must be published in a SDAFS newsletter. Resolutions are voted on at the SDAFS Annual Business meeting.
