Indicate your vote for or against:

_____ Membership



_____ Elections



_____ Res Voting

_____ Start Date



_____ Number of Awards

3 amendments were on the ballot for consideration by the full membership.

Amendment 1 (eliminate affiliate) passes 57-7.  

Amendment 2 (final round judges) passes 55 - 12.

Amendment 3 (conferences) fails 42 - 23.

The constitution will be updated soon.  The revised constitution will be announced on this site and available online.

The business meeting held this summer at UT Dallas passed three amendments for consideration by the full membership. A full copy of the text of the amendments is attached as a pdf file.

Amendment 1 eliminates the often-misused membership category of affiliate (since replaced by emerging programs).

Amendment 2 uses MPJ to fill slots assigned to regions on the final round panel that do not have a representative to judge.

Amendment 3 replaces CEDA regions with self-selected conferences.

This is the most recent constitution. Older copies also are available.
