March 2020 Florida Parliamentarian
the March 2020 issue of the Florida Parliamentarian includes the information about cancellation of the annual meeting. Because many parliamentarians are taking part in or assisting others with virtual meetings, there is a wonderful article by Jim Slaughter, PRP, on Let’s Hold Our Meeting/Convention online. You will also find a call for nominations for Members of Distinction. The nomination form can be downloaded here.

December 2019 Florida Parliamentarian
The December 2019 issue of the Florida Parliamentarian has dues renewal information for provisionals–both continuing and new–along with the forms necessary to submit with dues. The forms may also be found in the Members Only page of this website. In this issue we share a wonderful inspiration given by Wayne Kofink, PRP. This inspiration was given at the Fall meeting and we hope you will enjoy it. Reaching back into files from the past, we found an interesting article by Elsie Babcock first printed in the National Parliamentarian in 1995. All the “Cannots” mentioned are unchanged in the 11th edition except for the page numbers. Helen Popovich, PRP, provided a great lesson on Secondary Amendments. Let us know if you enjoyed this issue and also what else you would like to have in upcoming editions!
