Branch Bylaws

SUBMISSIONS, STATEMENTS

62.    Public statements or submissions purporting to be made on behalf of the Branch, whether to an individual, another person, a government, or a public body, whether in print or oral or by electronic media, and, whether from a Branch Committee or a Branch Section, must be authorized in advance by the Branch Executive Committee.  In a case of special urgency, where it is not practicable to convene a meeting of the full Branch Executive Committee, a statement or submission may be approved by a simple majority of the members of the Branch Executive Committee.
 
63.    Where a Branch Committee or Branch Section has not been authorized to make a public statement or submission on behalf of the Branch pursuant to Paragraph 59, the Branch Committee or Branch Section must make it clear that the statement or submission is being made on behalf of the Branch Committee or Branch Section only and not on behalf of the Branch as a whole.

64.    The President of the Association must approve, in advance, any submission or public statement not strictly of a Provincial nature to be made by the Branch or by any Executive Officer, Committee, or Section of the Branch.
