Parliamentarian Services

What is a Parliamentarian?

A parliamentarian is a consultant who advises the presiding officer and other officers, committees, and members on matters of parliamentary procedure. Parliamentarians are frequently used to assist with procedure during conventions and board meetings. Such advisers often turn long, difficult meetings into short, painless ones.
