The deadline to submit priority proposals is now extended to June 9, 2012. If you missed the opportunity to submit a priority proposal, please do so now!

The NAD Board of Directors welcomes submissions from individual members and organizational affiliates for proposed priorities for the next two years (2012-2014). These tend to be issues-oriented in nature, with focus on advocacy issues of importance that can be accomplished within a two-year timeframe. Proposed priorities will be presented to and voted upon by individual and affiliate members (General Forum); the top 30 proposals will then be narrowed down to the top 20 priorities for 2012-2014 by vote of official delegates (Council of Representatives) at the 51st Biennial NAD Conference. These then go to the NAD Board of Directors for follow up action during 2012-2014. There are two  ways to submit priority proposals:

Email (open and print PDF form; complete, scan and submit via e-mail)
Fax (open and print PDF form; complete and submit via fax)
One form must be submitted for each priority proposal; multiple forms may be submitted.
