The HOD meets annually to establish broad policy on current major issues and elect CMA officers, including president-elect, speaker and vice speaker. The resolutions that will be discussed at this year's meeting are now available for review and comment online at www.cmanet.org/hod. Testimony is open to all members, and is not limited to members of the House of Delegates. For the first time, testimony this year will only take place online for all six reference committees. There will be no in-person hearings for oral testimony at the meeting. Reference committee members will review all posted remarks, which are given the same weight and consideration as oral testimony presented in traditional committee hearings. Please read what your colleagues post and add your own written arguments and comments. All online testimony must be received by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, October 2. To view individual resolutions and reports and submit testimony online, visit www.cmanet.org/hod. You will be prompted to log in (if you are not already logged in) and then will be taken directly to the HOD landing page. From there, click on the Resolutions and Reports tab. Beneath each resolution and report in this section, you can view comments posted by your colleagues and add your own written testimony. Please note that there is a 500-word comment limit on each resolution, and posting multiple sequential comments to avoid the 500-word limit is not permitted. Comments in violation of this policy will be deleted. If you have not already done so, you will have to activate your CMA web account in order to access this private area of the website.
