Policy Statements, Directive and Constitutional Motions

As a GPO member, this is your chance to have your say on Policy Statements that may be considered at the 2026 Convention!

From April 10th-April 20th, members are encouraged to review and provide feedback on draft Policy Statements. During this comment period, you can:

Ask questions about the draft Policy Statements
Provide your feedback (What are the pros and cons? Do you strongly support or oppose a statement? Are there risks to any of the statements?)
Suggest possible amendments
Sponsor draft Policy Statements that you would like to see move on to the ranking phase

Another way to provide feedback is to join one or both of our Policy Statement Workshops on Zoom.

Wednesday, April 15th at 7:30PM EDT

Thursday, April 16th at 7:30PM EDT

Please note that you must be a current member of the GPO in order to sponsor a policy statement. If you are unsure of your membership status, please contact us at [email protected] or 1-888-647-3366.
