Rules of Procedure for the 2008 Spring Meeting of the Connecticut Conference of the United Church of Christ

The goal of these rules is to allow for maximum participation by our members while keeping the meeting within reasonable time limits.

1. The Spring Meeting is considered a portion of the Annual Meeting of the Conference.
2. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors is the Business Committee for the meeting.
3. Visitors are welcome and encouraged to participate in the non-business plenary, forums and workshops. Those defined in Article I of the Conference Bylaws comprise the voting members for the purpose of the business session. (Bylaws may be found here)
4. Only business announced in the Call to the Spring Meeting will be considered unless the voting members choose by a two-thirds vote to place an item on the agenda. In order to receive consideration for such a vote, such matters must be placed in the hands of the Registrar by a voting member before the meeting convenes, or up until 9:00 A.M. on the day of the meeting. Any item so voted at the beginning of the business plenary will be taken up at the end of the plenary session, following consideration of all previously announced matters, unless the Business Committee determines otherwise.
