Members approved two resolutions during the 2009 Annual Meeting. The first thanked Ernst Benjamin for his service to the Association in many capacities over the years, most notably for ten years as general secretary and most recently as interim general secretary. The second expressed support for the option for jury trial in the Whistleblower Enhancement Act of 2009. The act would expand opportunities for whistle blowers to press suit by allowing their cases to be heard in any federal appeals court.
