The National Association of Parliamentarians (NAP) is a dynamic, growing organization concerned with the practical problems parliamentarians face today. They partner with several student organizations to develop and enhance educational programs, and HOSA is one of those lucky organizations.

The NAP Biennial Convention took place from September 22 to September 26 in Saint Petersburg, FL. At the convention major business was in order for the biennium: the gathering of over four hundred NAP members, bylaw revisions, and the much anticipated release of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, 11th Edition.

Sara Sapp, National Postsecondary/Collegiate Vice President, represented HOSA as an intern at the convention. There were six interns in attendance from FBLA, PBL, FCCLA, BPA, NAP Education Foundation, and HOSA. They served at the NAP as pages during general body meetings. Being a page entails serving the approximately four hundred person delegation by collecting motion forms, sending messages, and answering questions during business meetings.

Throughout the conference the interns learned ample amounts about parliamentary procedure and leadership through keynote speakers, workshops, and the exciting release of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, 11th Edition.

At the Youth Committee Luncheon the Bell High School HOSA Parliamentary Procedure Team performed a meeting in front of the NAP Education Foundation and the authors of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, 11th Edition. As a reward for their hard work and proficiency in Parliamentary Procedure each member of the team received a signed copy of the book from the authors.
