\"\"<\/a>Yours truly is a professional parliamentarian and the author of Robert’s Rules for Dummies,<\/em>\u00a0now in its third edition.\u00a0I’ve been a student of parliamentary law and procedure\u00a0since 1989, earning credentials as a registered parliamentarian in 1995, and completing professional training in 1996. My interest in parliamentary procedure goes back to the days I was in the fifth grade. More on that story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0maintain\u00a0a comfortable workload serving parliamentary clients in\u00a0local, state, and national organizations, where I work with members, officers, executive boards, and committees, providing customized training and coaching\u00a0in effective meeting management and member participation.<\/p>\n

I’ve a particular interest in bylaws, and enjoy assisting organizers in developing new bylaws and working with existing organizations in\u00a0their bylaw revisions. My services<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>include general consultations, meeting planning, scripting presiding officers, serving as a meeting parliamentarian, writing parliamentary opinions, serving as an expert witness in court, and serving\u00a0as an impartial presiding officer.<\/p>\n

When I am not actively serving as a parliamentarian or\u00a0working with the officers and members of my client organizations, I am consulting.\u00a0Usually,\u00a0the consulting is\u00a0centered\u00a0around questions about\u00a0parliamentary procedure or organizational governance.<\/p>\n

In another realm, I consult on matters\u00a0related to the office of notary public in Louisiana.\u00a0(The\u00a0role of the notary in Louisiana is considerably different than that of the notary public in the other 49 states. For a quick elaboration on that difference,\u00a0click here<\/a>.) In that connection, I’m author of another work,\u00a0Fundamentals of Louisiana Notarial Law and Practice, <\/em>which I update annually.<\/p>\n

To the extent I am willing and able\u2014provided that I am not otherwise busy managing a couple of employees and a few dogs and cats\u2014I am\u00a0available to serve as a consultant\u00a0to anybody who wants to know what I know about anything I know something about. Unfortunately, I\u00a0get paid only for the parliamentarian and notary consultations. Everything else\u00a0is, well, it’s just\u00a0free advice. You know what they say about that.<\/p>\n
