In 2018, Mrs. Motley was awarded the Trailblazer’s Award from NAP President Jim Jones for her “contributions to the advancement of the National Association of Parliamentarians; elevation of the profession of parliamentarian, promotion of good governance, parliamentary procedure and practice; and service as a role model and mentor to parliamentarians in general.” I had the distinct honor of personally presenting this award to Mrs. Motley. Sadly, Mrs. Florence Motley passed away on February 25, 2021, about a month prior to her 109th birthday. She will be dearly missed by so many. To honor Mrs. Motley, at its Annual Meeting on April 5, 2021, the members of the Evergreen Research Unit adopted a resolution of appreciation, and sent it to her family.
Kevin Connelly, PRP, has been a member of NAP since 2000, and a Professional Registered Parliamentarian since 2002. He currently serves as Secretary on the NAP Board of Directors.
