Conference instructs the National Retired Members’ Committee to seek the following alterations to the Code of Good Branch Practice:
1)Remove the word, “normal” from the first paragraph of 11.3.1.1;
2)Amend 11.3.14 to require the Branch Retired Members’ Secretary to be a retired member;
3)Make clear that the power of branches at annual meetings (in rule G3.4.2) to “(confirm) the election of Branch Officers” may not be used to overturn the result of a properly conducted election of a Branch Retired Members’ Secretary by the retired members of the branch; and,
4)Bring together the references in the code to the election of Branch Retired Members’ Secretaries (now in 11.3.1.1, 11.3.1.2 and 11.3.14) so they may all be found in one place.
