The year 2024 stands to be a year of being present, and being our best self . And, knowing parliamentary procedure ensures that any individual’s moment in time—to be heard— is respected and not interrupted or silenced .
So, where are the NP writers? I thank the writers of Winter issue for contributing . We are only as good as those who “pay it forward” and share with NAP collective ideas, thoughts, and knowledge about parliamentary procedure .
Of note, I welcome a new NP writer, Tannis Nelson, who writes about units, the core of NAP. I also welcome another new NP writer, Ronald Reed, who writes about the annoying “So Moved . ” David Mezzera is a frequent NP writer who has contributed to the Fall and now Winter issue . A look at the NP old publications shows his breadth of knowledge and his love (hopefully) of writing for the NP . Jonathan Jacobs is also a frequent NP writer, and we are grateful for his article, “When was the Bylaw Adopted?”
Enjoy curated photos from the NAP 44th Biennial Convention included in this issue . Please use this link if you would like to order any of the photos taken during this time . parliamentarians .smugmug .com .
I would love to know why NAP members love (or like) parliamentary procedure . Please send your thoughts (no longer than 30 words please) to npeditor@nap2 .org .
As always, please send article submissions to that address as well .
All for now .
