Father Cadan Posted April 10, 2019 at 06:20 AM Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 at 06:20 AM How do you word a motion to 'support' an event? Not really a motion to do anything. Just saying this is a good event that another organization is putting on and we support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted April 10, 2019 at 06:31 AM Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 at 06:31 AM Adopting a decision to "support" some activity (or encourage, or whatever) is still very much "doing something", so offer a motion like any other to do so. Don't be afraid of the formal language "Mr. Chairman, I move that...". It does wonders in terms of focusing attention and getting the result you would like.

Guest Zev Posted April 10, 2019 at 07:52 AM Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 at 07:52 AM Sometimes a motion is made "that we send a letter to the president of society xyz indicating our appreciation for event abc, etc..." On occasion the other society has "correspondence received" subject during the officer's report and the entire society then takes note. Its a way to build goodwill rather than them just hearing from the grapevine that someone liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transpower Posted April 10, 2019 at 09:34 PM Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 at 09:34 PM This sounds like a resolution. See RONR (11th ed.), pp. 105-110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
