Meetings of Members

About

Meetings of members are biannual sessions of the NPDL Legislature.

Meetings of members are open to all member schools. To become a member school, please register here by March 15.

Each member school may send up to two representatives - one adult representative and one student representative.

Meetings of members are used to discuss the major issues in the parliamentary debate community.

Meetings of members also vote on any proposals tabled via Written Ballot.

Meetings of members are further described in Article IV, and Article XXV.

changing who holds your school’s vote

If an adult representative is unable to attend a meeting of members, another coach affiliated with their school may be designated to act as the substitute adult representative.
If none of the school’s coaches can attend the meeting of members, the adult representative may designate an adult representative of another school as their proxy.

If a student representative is unable to attend a meeting of members, another student from their school may be designated to act as the substitute student representative.
If none of the school’s students can attend the meeting of members, the student representative may designate a student representative of another school as their proxy.

Proxy/substitute designations must be emailed to npdl.board+secretary@gmail.com by a school representative (either adult or student) or the school supervisor (head coach, club adviser, or school administrator). The email notice must CC the school supervisor, the old representative being replaced, the substitute/proxy being designated, and the other representative of the school (if there is one).
