A Resolution to [Action Word] [Article] [Object] to
[Summarize the Solution Specifically]

Whereas:	State the current problem (this needs to be accomplished in one brief sentence); and

Whereas:	Describe the scope of the problem cited in the first whereas clause (this clause needs to flow logically from the first); and

Whereas:	Explain the impact and harms perpetuated by the current problem (once again, the clause needs to flow in a logical sequence); and

Whereas:	(Additional “whereas” clauses may be used but are not necessary; be sure to end the last “whereas” clause with a period rather than a semicolon).

Therefore,	be it resolved by this NCFL Student Congress here assembled that: state your recommendation for dealing with the problem (the resolution should be a clear call for action). And, be it

Further Resolved, that: (this is an optional additional recommendation; if not used, end the previous “therefore” clause with a period).

Respectfully submitted,
