Working Together as Partners
We are excited about what NAP accomplished in 2022, and we have even greater expectations for 2023 and beyond.
In 2023 we will launch the online course “Parliamentary Fundamentals,” at NAP University, NAP’s new online learning center . Plans are underway to develop and launch a series of courses to help you excel as a parliamentarian and prepare you to be a Registered Parliamentarian (RP) . Our committees are also producing targeted virtual events to deepen your knowledge of parliamentary procedure . The Commission on Credentialing is partnering with the Membership Registration and Examiners committee to develop the final RP credentialing exam . Our Webinar Meeting and Support team is partnering with committees, associations, and districts by providing technical support for training and annual meetings .

Working together with diverse groups can bring creativity and clever solutions to difficult problems . As we continue our journey from good to great, it is important to remember that forming partnerships, and collaborating within NAP as well as with external organizations, will allow us to find innovative ways to serve our members . Partnerships also expose us to groups that may need NAP and our unique skillset . Our Strategic Partnerships committee would like to hear from you if you have membership in an organization that could benefit from our services .
I am pleased to report the NAP Educational Foundation (NAPEF) is partnering with NAP by committing to donate annually at least $15,000 to NAP’s Educational Development Fund, and an additional $5,000 annually to NAP Events . This will directly effect how quickly we can roll out new training courses and events .
Your generous donations to NAPEF make this partnership possible . On behalf of the NAP Board of Directors and the NAPEF, I am asking you to join the partnership by donating whatever you can afford to help support our educational program . Help us continue the journey from good to great—donate today!
Wanda M . Sims, PRP 2021-2023 NAP President
