From the Editor

In the last few months NAP has taken on a strong leadership role to help organizations conduct business remotely. Electronic meeting resources have been provided for members and non-members through webinars, on-line seminars, and the written word. In this issue of National Parliamentarian, some of our authors are carrying out that theme. Don’t miss Adrian Stratton’s article about methods of virtual interaction, and Jim Slaughter’s explanation of statutes related to electronic meetings.

In addition to our educational hypotheses of RONR (11th ed.) material, this issue we have a projection of the parliamentary law needs for the future by student PRP, Kimo Gandall.

Be sure also to read the articles describing the hard work being done on our behalf by NAP committees. TennieBee Hall
