Use of a Resolution vs. Motion


Guest Anne Papinchak

Recommended Posts

What is the difference between a resolution and a motion and the best use of each for a non-profit board?

A resolution is simply a particular type of motion which uses fancier wording. Resolutions are often used for motions which are particularly important, lengthy, or complex. A regular motion is expressed simply as, "I move that..." A resolution is expressed as "Resolved, that..." and may contain multiple clauses. For more information, see RONR, 10th ed., pgs. 99-106.
