What is Parliamentary Procedure?
Although many people are familiar with the title of Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised, few know that it is the most widely used book on parliamentary procedure in the United States, and that the book is used by organizations ranging from homeowners' associations to school boards to Fortune 500 boards of directors.
Parliamentary procedure defines how a democratic organization works—how its members make decisions, how its leaders run the organization to meet the needs of its members, and the rights of members and non-members. Parliamentary procedure is vital to the fair operation of governments, corporations, charities, churches, and other organizations operating on democratic principles. The National Association of Parliamentarians works with organizations and individuals to educate them on fair and effective meeting procedures, and provides services and products to organizations that need help.
Learn more about parliamentary procedure by exploring the NAP Web site.
