AIUSA Membership Resolutions Process

Updated 11/06/2008

Join the Resolutions Discussion Online! Sign-Up HERE!

If you plan to be a group delegate at the regional conference and vote for your group, please complete the Group Voting Authorization Form located below and bring it with you to the regional conference.


Amnesty International is a grassroots organization. Any individual member or group of members has an opportunity to impact the mission, method, policy, organization or allocation of resources. Resolutions are a means by which members can influence policy on a regional, national, or international level.

A resolution is a statement directing a change in AI that can't be accomplished by simply asking a staff member or volunteer leader. A resolution can be as simple as asking staff to clarify current procedures or as complex as requesting a change in AI's mission.
