Description
The American Institute of Parliamentarians is a not-for-profit educational organization founded in 1958 for the advancement of parliamentary procedure. From a first-year membership of only 48 members, AlP has grown into a progressive association with active chapters and regions. More than 1,200 members reside in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Canada, Puerto Rico, and throughout the world.
AIP is unique in its use of many parliamentary authorities in its education programs. This diversity allows members and students to be aware of what the common parliamentary procedures are, but also understand the history and theory of why certain procedures exist, and optional procedures that are available to organizations.
We represent Region 5 of AIP.
