A25-28 ARTICLE VIII: National Conventions, § 1
AMEND: Section 1. The Association shall meet in National Convention every two (2) years three (3) years at a location to be established by majority vote of the delegates at the Convention four (4) years six (6) years previous…
(The rest of the section remains unchanged.)
Rationale: With fewer and fewer amendments being offered every convention and less union business needing to be attended to, there is no need to meet biannually. With the cost of conventions approaching $3,000,000 and the union’s responsibility to be fiscally responsible to its members, changing the convention to every 3 years seems like a prudent choice.
