Discussion
Review the 2020 Proposed National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) Resolutions. These resolutions will be presented by the NRECA Resolutions Committee at NRECA's Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana on March 1-4, 2020. The final slate of votes will be cast by PEC's designated voting delegate.
The NRECA Resolutions Committee is comprised of the chairs and vice chairs of each of the three NRECA Member Standing Committees. To ensure each Region is represented, the NRECA President appoints additional individuals from the Standing Committees. Terms are designed to provide overlap between new members and outgoing members.
Following the NRECA Regional Meetings, the Compendium of Proposed Resolutions and all actions taken by the regions' voting delegates are forwarded to the NRECA Member Standing Committees. The Member Standing Committees' work is forwarded to the National Resolutions Committee. At their January meeting, the National Resolutions Committee: (1) reviews the Member Standing Committees' work; (2) makes recommendations on all proposed and existing resolutions; (3) updates policy background statements where necessary; (4) orders the resolutions in a logical sequence; and (4) prepares a consent agenda for the NRECA Annual Business Meeting.
The Board may now consider PEC positions and directives for voting delegates on the matters presented.
