– New Alumni Council filled with ex-delegates and staff members to help advise CASA’s membership.
– New Member Relations Committee responsible for overseeing and improving the quality of relations CASA has with its members.
– Approval of a process for CASA’s members to propose and approve advocacy campaigns.
– Approval of numerous policy papers which will be publicly released over the next several months.
– Numerous policy amendments.
– End-of-year awards.
– Approval of a balanced 2018 budget
– ?Build-a-Foundations? activity to help plan CASA’s 2017 Foundations Conference schedule.
