A central part of our work at Annual Convention is to consider resolutions from our ECCT community. Resolutions must be submitted by five members of Convention, in writing, along with explanatory comments of no more than 100 words, no later than September 29. Any resolutions submitted after this deadline will be considered only at the discretion of the Convention. Learn more.
REPORTS
Reports must be no longer than 1,000 words in length. If your group’s report needs additional length, it may be submitted as a supplemental addendum to your report as a PDF or Word document via the form. Learn more.
