Mission

What is Parliamentary Procedure?

Parliamentary Procedure is a training program dedicated to equipping individuals with the skills to run meetings in an efficient, orderly, and productive manner. Participants will learn how to streamline discussions, prevent confusion, eliminate unnecessary delays, as well as master motion-making, debate management, and the decision-making process. Not only does a proper grasp of parliamentary procedure enhance meeting efficiency, but it also empowers leaders, activists, and organizations to operate with greater transparency, fairness, and professionalism. Fostering strong procedural knowledge, the program helps organizations and those who constitute them grow, gain credibility, and achieve their goals with confidence, ensuring that every meeting moves the mission forward.

Finally, ‘Advanced Robert’s Rules of Order,’ prepares participants for parliamentarian certification, equipping them with expert-level knowledge to protect the rights of the majority, minority, and individual members, while maintaining discipline.
