Resolutions
The MNL Advocacy Committee is responsible for reviewing each resolution, determining whether the issue is municipal in nature, and recommending how MNL can best lobby for the issues identified or otherwise contribute to their resolution. MNL has instituted a Resolutions Classification system that allows each resolution to be assessed and given one of three priority levels. These levels help the Advocacy Committee and Board determine which resolutions are most important and require more attention. All adopted resolutions are also assigned to at least one of MNL’s Standing or Ad Hoc Committees to follow-up and monitor as appropriate throughout the year.
Submitted resolutions are brought before the Advocacy Committee and teh Board of Directors for approval. Approved resolutions will be voted on at the 2025 AGM.
