Per ISMA Resolution 23-67, the ISMA Expiring Resolutions Committee has adopted a set of preliminary recommendations on current ISMA policies that will expire this year. The preliminary recommendations, including the committee’s rationale, are available for comment on ISMA Pulse from Friday, May 30 until Sunday, June 29, 2025, which is also the deadline to submit new resolutions for the 2025 ISMA Convention.

After the comment period ends, the committee will reconvene to discuss the feedback and adopt final recommendations. These recommendations will be presented as a consent calendar during the opening session of the ISMA House of Delegates (HOD) on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025. All recommendations will be adopted at that time unless an item is extracted by an HOD member. Items extracted by the House will undergo the usual resolution process, including a formal hearing before reference committees and an opportunity for discussion and vote on the floor of the HOD on Sunday.
