Quick Tips From
Parliamentarian Pauline

 
 

Did You Know

 
 
  • A proxy or stand-in is not necessary for an absent officer at an installation…
 
 
  • When a president can vote – to create a tie, to break a tie or if by ballot…

 
 
  • The difference between inspiration and invocation – an invocation is God’s word (prayer) and an inspiration is man’s word (poem, or thought for the day)…
 
 
  • The proper location of the American flag is at the president’s right, the assembly’s left…
 
 
  • The pledge to the flag is omitted when there is no flag in the room…
 
 
  • A second is not needed when the motion is made by direction of a board or duly appointed committee…
 
 
  • The head table is never introduced – those seated at the head table are introduced…
 
 
  • The agenda should never list “old” business – it should be “unfinished business”…
