Policy

KAP members belong to one of 12 districts or a commodity association. When issues arise, they are brought forward to district committees or commodity associations to develop a resolution. A resolution is an action item for the entire KAP membership to consider.

Resolutions are brought forward to any of the three advisory council meetings during the year or to the KAP annual meeting. Here, they are debated by representatives from all districts and commodity organizations. If passed, a resolution becomes official KAP policy. At this point, the KAP executive, with support from KAP staff, take action on these policies. This could be in the form of direct advocacy through face to face meetings with elected officials, presentations to legislative committees, letters to government officials, news releases, solicitation of support from other stakeholders, participation in consultations, or events to draw attention to the issue.
