WHEREAS, the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland has, for many years, followed the practice of maintaining a fixed rotation for determining the
location of conventions;
WHEREAS, a fixed rotation of conventions results in higher costs to participants because it greatly reduces the ability of the convention chairperson to
negotiate with prospective hotels;
WHEREAS, eliminating the fixed rotation does not mean that the convention ill not continue to move about the state; and
WHERAS, a non- fixed rotation for convention will enable the President and the Board to put the convention in a location which best meets the needs of
the affiliate: Now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland assembled this 1st day of November, 1981, in the City of Grantsville, Maryland, that
the fixed rotation of conventions be discontinued as of 1981, and that the location for future conventions be determined by the President with the approval
of
the Board of Directors.
