Sorry about jumping in a little late on this, but here's my take on a little
of this:
Actives seem to submit a far less amount of legislation than alumni (maybe
not a lot less, but less.) With the deadline for submitting legislation
being 90 days prior to Convention, some chapters may not have enough time to
determine what they wish to submit for legislation, or at least the active
members, since they have just returned to school.
Would it be possible, perhaps, to shorten the deadline from 90 days to, say,
70 or 75 days? And not just possible, but really feasible, with still enough
time to put together packets of legislation to send back to chapters? Would
a little more time be enough, and would it be feasible to shorten the time
period without creating much of a mess in the Nationals flow of paper and
traffic?
I eagerly await a response. Do you think this would have the desired effect
of getting more actives to submit legislation?
