Position Statements Policy

Position Statements Policy

not yet in effect

Policy Statement

A position statement should include a description of the position, a brief rationale, and may include links to a white paper or to selected external resources. Position statements should be drafted in an accessible, positive way understandable to those not yet familiar with the issue. A position statement should fall within EBC’s mandate as articulated in our vision for cycling in Edmonton, and should address issues we wish to actively advocate on or issues about which there is a high likelihood we will be asked. Position statements should reflect EBC’s tradition of non-partisanship. All position statements, taken together, should reflect a coherent message.

Adopting or striking a position statement requires a vote by the board.

Official spokespersons of EBC must be guided by existing position statements when advocating for EBC’s vision of cycling in Edmonton.

Purpose of the policy

To define the purpose, content, method of adoption, and method of implementation of a position statement.
