A resolution is a written statement that, when adopted by the House of Delegates, is the basis for the policies and actions of the Oklahoma Nursing Student Association. Resolutions are presented on matters of importance to ONSA, its members and constituent associations, nursing, and the health needs of the public. Resolutions should be regional or national in scope, and should fall within the purposes and functions stated in the ONSA Bylaws.
A resolution is composed of two parts: "whereas" clauses that summarize, with documentation, the reasons and rationale for the resolutions; and "resolved" clauses that contain the position to be taken on the issue and/or actions to be taken by ONSA, its constituent associations, and its members. ONSA encourages constituents to use a resolution to submit stands on issues to the House of Delegates. The discussions at Resolutions Hearings and on the floor of the House insure that the issue, its costs and implementation, have all been carefully considered by the delegates prior to voting.
Previous resolutions that have been passed by the House of Delegates are available for viewing at the end of the ONSA Policies and Procedures.
Any member, local or district association, or constituent association of ONSA, the Executive Board, or the Resolutions Committee may initiate resolutions. Please email Kelli Bohn , Legislative Director and Resolutions Committee Chairperson, with any questions or comments.
