How do I attend Convention?

Attendance at Convention is primarily determined by delegates allocated to every active Local Unit. Each Local Unit chooses how they select their delegates. Unused delegates are made available through a lottery to the members in the HSAA District of that Local Unit. Members without delegate status will receive an email notifying them of registration for the lottery in March. 

Resolutions

Members are the highest decision-making authority of the union, guiding its priorities through resolutions submitted to the HSAA Convention. 

Resolutions should address significant issues that align with the union’s broader goals and objectives. They are not meant to address minor or administrative matters, but rather to tackle important topics that impact the union’s mission and its members on a larger scale. 

There are three types of resolutions: Constitutional, Policy, and Position Statement.

Please note: Collective bargaining issues are not dealt with at Convention, but through other methods such as at a bargaining conferences, consultation with membership, and surveys. 

Please visit this Resolutions page for resources on the resolution process and tips for crafting effective resolutions. We encourage you to review these materials prior to submitting your resolution to increase the likelihood of your resolution's success.

How can I submit a resolution?

The deadline to submit resolutions for consideration at Convention 2025 is Monday, April 14, 2025.

Resolutions must be submitted electronically using the Resolutions Form.
