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

Channel):

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.
