Rosa #235: Washington D.C. Branch membership-scaled ballot and delegate proposal
In the 47th-convention amendment packet, the Washington, D.C., NAACP Branch proposed a matched representation formula: one annual-meeting ballot vote and one voting delegate for branches from minimum charter size through 100 members, plus an extra vote/delegate for each additional 500 members. Two linked amendments — not evidence of an adopted rule or actual branch membership.
