Each year, MACD’s member districts are invited to craft and submit resolutions that will help direct the advocacy and policy work of the Association on specific natural resource issues. Through the resolution process, districts are able to provide the Association with direct input on natural resource topics of high interest or concern at the local, regional, state, and/or national level.

The full resolution process is described on the Resolution and Committees Process page. To submit a resolution, use the resolution google form, or one of the provided word documents on the Resolution and Committees Process page.
