FSAP encourages anyone interested in learning more about parliamentary procedure — including Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, presiding skills, meeting structure, quorum, bylaws, and related topics — to contact any unit president by email or phone, or visit their respective social media platforms for more information.
