Voting delegates at the 2010 Spring Conference at Albuquerque High School passed the resolutions below for the 2010-2011 school year.   All member schools are encouraged to support the approved resolutions.

Monetary Resolution

Cancer Research:

Whereas cancer research needs more funding, let it be resolved that each student council in New Mexico hold a walk-a-thon to raise money to benefit the cancer foundation of their choice. 

Service Resolution

Dance for Pants:

Whereas domestic abuse affects thousands of families in New Mexico, and whereas students in New Mexico are among the victims of domestic abuse, and whereas domestic violence shelters are often in need of clothing donations for those seeking shelter from abuse – therefore, be it resolved that NMASC member schools hold a Dance For Pants, where students could gain admission to the dance with a clothing donation instead of paying money for a ticket; and the clothing collected would be donated to a local domestic violence shelter.

General Interest Resolutions

Drugs and Alcohol:

Whereas there are increasing numbers of young people doing drugs and alcohol, let it be resolved that each student council across New Mexico hold a Drug & Alcohol Awareness event to educate young adults about the negative effects of drugs and alcohol on their growing bodies. 

Two Trees:

Whereas the depleting oxygen level in our ozone layer needs to be replenished, let it be resolved that all New Mexico student councils plant at least two trees to help us provide a higher level of oxygen in our atmosphere. 

Cancer Awareness:

Whereas cancer is one of the deadliest diseases that affects the lives of thousands of New Mexicans, and whereas cancer touches the lives of many students, teachers and families, and whereas lifestyle choices can increase the risk of getting cancer – therefore, be it resolved that NMASC member schools hold a Cancer Awareness Week to raise awareness of the affects of cancer and to raise money to help the fight against cancer
