Representatives from all 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia developed the final package of resolutions during meetings earlier in the recent NGAUS conference.

Delegates additionally voted on changes to the association's by-laws Aug. 26, the conference's final day.
Resolutions adopted by a general NGAUS conference are now effective for three years, but may be extended for one-year increments. All extensions must be considered individually.
Originally, resolutions adopted by a general conference were only effective for one year or until the next NGAUS general conference occurred.
For the association's corporate members, the amount paid for dues at various corporate membership levels will now be determined by the NGAUS board.
Originally, changes in corporate membership types and costs required a change in by-laws.
