Parliamentary Procedure

What is a parliamentary procedure and why is it important?
It is a set of rules for conduct at meetings, that allows everyone to be heard and to make decisions without confusion. Parliamentary procedure is a time-tested method of conducting business at meetings and public gatherings which can be adapted to fit the needs of any organization.

Lola Fehr, MSN, RN, CAE, RP, FAAN, the NSNA parliamentarian, is here to interpret Robert’s Rules of Order and help you understand bylaws and policies. See Guidebook Convention app for the availability of times to consult with Parliamentarian.
