Membership in the Illinois Association of Parliamentarians
|
Leadership
IAP provides opportunities for members and guests to develop and exercise leadership skills. Learn how to facilitate smooth-running meetings, support an organization as an elected officer, and organize meetings and conventions of any size.
Effectiveness
A healthy organization benefits from the creativity of all its members. Does your organization overlook good ideas when somebody with a louder voice or more political clout expresses a different opinion? Learn how to propose and discuss ideas effectively in a manner that everyone agrees is fair.
Resources
As an IAP member, you'll receive member discounts on a wide variety of resources available from the National Association of Parliamentarians.
