MPHA Resolution Handbook 1974-2009 |
| 5/26/2010 |
The advocacy actions of the Minnesota Public Health Association are grounded in resolutions passed by the membership. This handbook contains all resolutions passed by MPHA since 1974. It provides general information about the ways resolutions are used by MPHA and information about writing resolutions. This document will be updated annually to include new resolutions passed by the membership. How are resolutions used by MPHA? MPHA resolutions describe the organization’s position on issues not otherwise covered in our by-laws or other governing documents. The resolutions passed by the membership guide the policy and advocacy work of the organization. When MPHA is approached to join a coalition, support a bill, or advocate for a particular public health issue, we first look to our resolutions for guidance. Final decisions about the actions the organization should take in regard to a policy issue are made by the Governing Council.
