At the upcoming Delegate Assembly meeting, which will take place at the 2012 MLA Annual Convention in Seattle and begin at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, 7 January (session 500), delegates will consider a proposal to increase association dues, three regular resolutions, and staff and committee reports on association activities. Also on the assembly’s agenda is a one-hour open discussion of two topics: MLA structures for the twenty-first century and the future of scholarly journals. [Please note that member log-in is required to view the agenda items.]
Since the 1 October deadline for submitting motions and regular resolutions has passed, only emergency resolutions may be added to the assembly’s agenda. Members may submit emergency resolutions to the chair of the Delegate Assembly Organizing Committee up to twenty-four hours before the start of the assembly meeting. The last opportunity for submitting an emergency resolution comes at the Open Hearing on Resolutions at the convention (session 262). Please see the second section in Checklists for Submitting Resolutions for information on submission requirements.
