About Us

The North Sound Chapter of AIP (#74, chartered by the American Institute of Parliamentarians) is a local study group of parliamentarians studying

* Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR),
* The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure (TSC),
* Demeter's Rules of Parliamentary Law and Procedure,
* Riddick's Rules of Procedure and
* Cannon's Concise Guide to Rules of Order.

The first meeting was held on October 20, 2003 with Kevin Connelly, K. Ann McCartney and Paul McClintock attending.

Meetings

Regular meetings are scheduled for the second Monday of odd-numbered months, 7:30 p.m. at Martha Lake Covenant Church, 2721 164th Street SW, Lynnwood, WA. (Dates, times and location may vary; check with Paul McClintock.)

Each meeting includes both chapter business and an educational program from one or more of the parliamentary authorities. This format provides each member with opportunity to both learn and practice parliamentary procedure.
