VPEA Report
November 7, 2011
Breakouts:
th
Friday, November 4 I attended a Robert's Rules of Order breakout ran by
Lorenzo R. Cuesta, a Professional Registered Parliamentarian. Cuesta passionately
advocated the importance of running an effective meeting using parliamentary
procedure. The breakout was informative and motivating, therefore, I provided a
handout with all the information he conveyed and more. I intend to look into having
a parliamentarian (hopefully Lorenzo) come before our senate to better educate us
upon the use of Robert's Rules.
SSCCC President:
Region 9 delegates, including myself, voted to support SSCCC President Kevin
Feliciano.
Resolutions:
The resolution process was extremely informative and enlightening. I
discovered how important it is to have a complete understanding of the resolutions
prior to General Assembly. Though many of them were made clear through debate
and requests for information. Several resolutions and many amendments were
added at the last minute, because of this I believe it is necessary to leave the final
voting decision to the delegate. There were only a few times that I went against the
decision of our Senate, because our information was not sufficient and once made
clear, these particular resolutions did not serve the interests expressed in our initial
decision. I feel with more preparation this situation is less likely to occur; however,
even with sufficient preparation I believe final voting rights should be left to the
elected delegate.
CHC Participation:
I would like to praise our President, Christopher Walsh, for his concise yet
epic contribution to an extremely controversial resolution. The resolution was
created to oppose the entirety of the Student Success Task Force's
recommendations, without discussion or debate on any individual item. As decided
by the Senators that attended GA, we were strongly against this resolution.
President Walsh was the second speaker on the con mic and with more
eloquent words than mine stated that the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education
was dead and the time to create a better system is now. This controversial
statement stirred the audience and was met with both cheers and “boos.”
Moments later, without hesitation, President Walsh approached the
parliamentary mic, lacking delegate rights he could only ask for a point of
information: what are the consequences should this resolution pass? President
Feliciano smiled and answered: any and all student voice on the Student Success
Task Force would subsequently be eliminated. Such a seemly simple question
brought the results Walsh expected. The audience was shocked and a deep
“ooohhhhh” reverberated throughout the conference room, suddenly all those
gathered around the pro mic dissolved and people flocked to the con mic.
Ultimately the resolution failed with a near unanimous vote. In my opinion,
President Christopher Walsh effectively swayed the vote and was the deciding
factor in defeating said resolution.
I thank Chris for all of his help throughout the resolution process and I want
to express my appreciation for his extensive knowledge pertaining to education and
politics. We are lucky to have such a capable President and I hope to take this
experience and everything else I can learn to the next GA and hopefully make such
an impact while representing Crafton Hills College.
