Section XII.  Review of Association Principles

A.            The responsibility for review and revision of Association Principles is a general one falling to all the members of AMSA.  However, it shall be a specific duty of the Action Committees to periodically review those Principles, which might apply to them, and assure they reflect the current views of the membership.

B.            The Chairs of the Action Committees shall present in their first report to the Board of Trustees a short summary of sections of the Principles which apply to them and which will be reviewed during the year.

C.            In their year end report, Chairs of the Action Committees shall list these Principles and note any action taken—whether it be a project, interest group, or resolution—that concerned those Principles in question.

D.            It shall be the responsibility of the Secretary and Vice President for Internal Affairs to periodically reformat the Principles of the Association in order to make the organization of them more relevant to the membership.

E.             The Action Committees shall be responsible for annually reviewing the Principles for outdated terms and obsolete issues or entries. The Secretary and Vice President for Internal Affairs shall annually update the Principles of the Association with the approval of the BOT. These updates may include the following:

                1.             Substitution of outdated terms with up-to-date terms (2003)

                2.             Deletion of Principles that address issues or entities that are obsolete (2003)

F.             Any Principles that are deleted for being obsolete shall be kept on file by AMSA for historical purposes. (2003)
