What is an NCAI Resolution?
NCAI resolutions are one of the policy mechanisms used to express the organizational positions on tribal, federal, state, and/or local legislation, litigation, and policy matters that affect tribal governments or communities.
How do I submit a Resolution?
All of NCAI’s advocacy work is guided by the Resolutions Process. Please review the process before you submit if you are not familiar with it.
1. Download the current Resolution Template to draft your Resolution
2. Submit your Resolution through our Online portal. (Resolutions will only be accepted via this form.)
3. Timely resolutions for the upcoming 80th Annual Convention must be submitted by Monday, October 23, 2023 at 11:59 PM CDT. After this initial deadline, any resolutions received will be considered late and must therefore, be considered emergency in nature or national in scope as determined by the NCAI Resolutions Committee. Late resolutions will be accepted until Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at 12 noon CDT.
