TSUNAA has flourished through the pandemic; but also, we’ve met some extenuating circumstances. We are asking for your prayers, patience, and understanding as we conduct the 2022 Solicitation for Consti- tutional changes. Throughout our term, your volunteer executive board members have experienced close losses, endured COVID-19, undergone medical procedures, managed their professional job’s commitments, and continued to serve TSUNAA. We cannot plan/predict/prepare how such life changes and commit- ments will affect our processes and/or service. However, when our processes are hindered it is our respon- sibility to pivot effectively. The submission deadline date, February 1st listed for constitutional changes will now be April 1, 2022 due to extenuating circumstances. This will give an Interim Parliamentarian and com- mittee members adequate time to present the changes to our membership 60 days prior to the convention. Constitution Pursuant to Article X, Section 1, Amendments of the TSUNAA Constitution, “... Constitution may be amended at any regularly scheduled business meeting of the National Convention of The Association pro- vided the proposed amendment was received by the Executive Secretary in time to be sent to the finan- cial members at least thirty (30) days before the meeting date at which it is to be considered and receives three-fourths (3/4) votes of those present who are eligible to vote. “All amendments to the constitution must be submitted by the deadline of April 1st 2022, in time for the committee’s distribution to members 60 days before convention. In submitting proposals, it is important that the following format is used per Robert’s Rules of Order, Newly Revised 11th Edition (RONR):
