Josh Martin Posted August 2, 2011 at 04:00 AM Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 at 04:00 AM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
