DFW PARLIAMENTARIANS
The DFW Parliamentarians morns the passing of our dear member, Roger Warman, RP, on April 12, 2012. He will surely be missed.
A parliamentarian is a consultant who advises the president and other officers, boards, committees and members on matters of parliamentary procedure. But during a meeting, their role is purely an advisory and consultative one to the president.
The DFW Parliamentarians is a unit of the National Association of Parliamentarians (NAP) chartered in March 2003 and is also affiliated with the Texas State Association of Parliamentarians (TSAP).
Each meeting of the group follows the standard order of business of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR) for unit business and includes an educational program from RONR presented by a member or guest. This format provides each member the opportunity to learn, share experiences and practice parliamentary procedure.
From time-to-time the unit conducts a series of classes in preparation for the NAP entrance exam.
Anyone who wishes to learn Parliamentary Procedure in the intimate, relaxed, enjoyable and fun atmosphere of the DFW unit, please join us.
Or, if you are seeking a qualified Parliamentarian to serve your organization, you're in the right place.
