From the Editor
I would like to point out a few notes in this Fall Issue:
There are two articles in this issue which headline the National Parliamentarian’s new biennium for 2023-2025 .
This issue of National Parliamentarian starts strong with an article from Lorenzo Cuesta . The title of his article is “Renew! Reconsider! But Which One and When?” It is an excellent discourse on the use of each one, providing excellent review for those parliamentarians who are advanced and is a great primer for those of us who want to be advanced .
Deborah Gordon writes about previous notice . Notice is the basis for not just parliamentary law but American Jurisprudence . Previous notice is not just a suggestion, and the lack of notice can make any motion harder to adopt simply by changing the number of votes needed .
See the wonderful poem from Stephanie “Sam” King titled, “The Parliamentarian’s Equivalent to the Irish Prayer 2023 . ”
For any of you who need assistance paying your dues, please check out the NAP Educational Foundation to see if you qualify for help . Out of the many things the foundation does, this is one of them .
Lastly, I welcome the new NP Editorial Review Committee and the Parliamentary Research Committee of 2023-2025 . I also want to thank the last biennial Parliamentary Research Committee for assisting with the Fall Issue 2023 Questions & Answers .
