From the editor

As you read through this issue of National Parliamentarian, take particular note of the “Connections” section, where you can learn more about what NAP, through committees, groups, and individuals, is able to do.

Don’t miss Kay Crews’ article about the process that was used to revise the code of professional responsibility for parliamentarians. Be sure to read the outcome of that work.

C.J. Cavin outlines services available to NAP individuals and groups, and gives some communications committee tips about using social media.

Next, turn to Collin Kaster’s perspective on how to inspire young leaders, then to Barbara Bonsignore’s report of a winning parli pro team.

As you read Young Yu’s article about China’s successful study program, imagine what you can do in your own area to promote the study of parliamentary procedure.

We have so many avenues available to us to inspire, promote, and educate future NAP members! TennieBee Hall
