The Resolution Process

     It is very important that members of the Academy realize that policy changes regarding the recommended care of children and for membership concerns are made through the process of resolution submission, and to know how to do this.  The purpose of a resolution is to provide a formal mechanism whereby the members of the Academy can provide input regarding Academy policies and activities.  You will find the following links to be helpful (you may have to log in to the Members Only Channel):

  • Guidelines for Submitting Resolutions -  Using this PDF document will help organize your ideas and clarify the intent of your resolution.

  • Previous resolutions - All resolutions that have been written in the past 11 years are now available through the Members Only Channel of the AAP web site. This search site will help you to determine whether or not a resolution dealing with this subject is necessary.  It is also helpful to review AAP Policy Statements which may already address your concerns.

  • Last year's resolutions

     The Annual Leadership Forum provides the process for committees, councils, sections (represented by their chairpersons or their duly authorized representative who must be an Academy Fellow), Chapter presidents and vice presidents to advise the AAP Board of Directors on issues of importance from the AAP membership.  The Annual Leadership Forum serves in an advisory capacity to the Board of Directors, providing a primary communication link between the grassroots and the policymaking bodies of the Academy.
