• Issues on the ballot that members are being asked to vote on are presented and discussed

• New proposals being considered by any structural entity within CAHPERD that affect the membership at large are presented and discussed

WHEN?

At the annual State CAHPERD Conference - at a time when no other programs are being presented

COMPARISON WITH THE CURRENT STRUCTURE:

1. The name would be changed from “Town Hall Meeting” to “Annual Members Meeting.”

2. ALL leaders (District Coordinators, District Leaders, Directors, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Council Members, Committee Chairs, Committee Members, and School District Liaisons) and interested members would be expected to attend this very important meeting.

3. This is the one time during the year when leaders and members at large have a chance to get together, discuss issues and have their voices heard. The current structure does not provide a time for members to ask questions, voice concerns, discuss new proposals, discuss controversial issues, or discuss the ballot measures they are being asked to vote on.

4. In the current structure, the candidates for President generally give their platform speeches at a General Session. In the proposed structure, the Annual Members Meeting appears to be a more appropriate venue.
