MOTION #1:
As a two year experiment, General Service Representatives (GSR's) will be allowed to vote at Area Quarterlies.

Background Information

2. Many home groups do not send GSR's to the Area Quarterlies because; they do not have a vote.
3. Any motion made at a Area Quarterly that is tabled until the next Area Quarterlies (6 months later)
   1. This creates a situation where it may be 9 months before the motion can be voted on by the GSR's.
   2. If the same motion is tabled at an assembly, it may be another 6 months before the motion is voted on.
   3. During this time the individuals who made and can represent this motion may have moved on.
4. No change to the way the Area does business at Quarterlies will be used to prepare clear and concise motions.

   1. Two of the standing committee meetings are held at area quarterlies
   2. Two of the standing committee meetings are held at a separate site in the area
2. The standing committee meetings have been successful with an increased attendance
3. By holding the standing committee meetings at the Assemblies and Quarterlies, there will be an increased attendance and participation. With increased attendance and participation, more information will get disseminated to groups and individuals

MOTION #3:
The next Delegates Panel be prepare a bid for the 2012 PRASSA

Move that WSEA 92 fund the Area Alternate Chairperson to planning meetings for Area Assemblies and Quarterlies as needed for travel and accommodations if needed.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Currently, the Area Alternate Chairperson has to go to the host committee for reimbursement of travel related funds. Since the host committees do not receive seed monies until the Assembly PRIOR to the Assembly they are planning and the Quarterly PRIOR to the one they are planning, and the Alt Chair needs to meet with them prior to this time, this can result in a financial hardship for the host districts.

THIS WOULD CHANGE the Area Handbook by adding a 5th Item under section 6.4 as follows:

6.4 AREA ALTERNATE CHAIRPERSON
