Group work day!

This week in Parlia Pro, we got a work day! We were given two questions to try and find the answers to:

  • What is the time limitation for a recess?
  • where does a motion that was laid on the table go if it is not removed from the table by the next meeting? Unfinished business?  Pending business ? or lost in the voids of space. 
We were having trouble finding the answers in our copies of Roberts Rules of Order so we decided to contact two NAP certified parliamentarians. We are currently waiting for a reply from both parliamentarians.

On Tuesday we powered through to learn several motions, these motions fall under the privileged motions, and Motions that bring back before the assembly or "zombie motions". After contacting the parliamentarians, we decided to continue working on our quiz for privileged and  "zombie" motions. Group work time is very productive!

We will become certified parliamentarians if we keep this up!

  1. Matt,

    I am glad you guys had a productive Thursday! Remember, we are pursuing the Accredited Parliamentarian status from the Society of Agricultural Education Parliamentarians.
