The 2025 FSAP Annual Meeting was held at the Spring Hill Suites Hotel in Lakeland, Florida, on May 23 and 24, 2025.

                                       

By meeting in person NAP members from across the state — and even from other states — the opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate during an unforgettable gathering!

       

On Friday evening, we dined at Harry’s Seafood Bar and Grille, arriving in style on Lakeland’s transportation system, The Squeeze. It was a remarkable sight: over 20 parliamentarians seated together at one very, very long table in a special section reserved just for our group.

Our special guest was Deborah Underwood, PRP, Secretary of NAP. In addition, attendees enjoyed five dynamic workshops presented by experienced and distinguished speakers:

Cooking Up the Perfect Meeting Presented by Barbara Proctor, PRP

What’s the Point of Order? Presented by Sarah Russell, RP

The Heart of the Organization: The Role of the Secretary  Presented by Deborah Underwood, PRP

Let’s Rewind: Understanding Motions that Bring a Question Again Before the Assembly Presented by   Donna Mitchell, PRP

Creating and Filling a Blank Presented by Ann Guiberson, PRP

 

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE IS FOR EVERYONE!

Florida parliamentarians provide expertise in managing effective and efficient business meetings, developing and interpreting bylaws and rules of order, applying parliamentary procedure in practice, presiding professionally, and offering consultation on parliamentary issues.

Parliamentary procedure refers to the rules of parliamentary law followed by a given assembly or organization, along with any additional rules of order the body may have adopted.
