Resolution Statements
A Resolution is a proposal that the Assembly take a certain action, or that it expresses itself as holding certain views. It is made by a Member moving an issue (which is equivalent to saying, “I propose that”), and then stating the action he/she proposes to have taken. Thus, a member “moves” (proposes) that a Resolution be adopted, or amended, or referred to a committee, etc.
Position Statements
A position statement is written to provide direction for an organization by describing one side of the arguable viewpoint. The statement should provide a description, with support of evidence of the position that the Canadian Nursing Students’ Association is taking on the issue and should include a background of the issue. Position statements written for the Canadian Nursing Students’ Association must reflect the governing objectives and goals of the Canadian Nursing Students’ Association.
