As a credentialed Registered Parliamentarian, I would like to offer free services to councils when it comes to parliamentary procedure training and what to expect during a National Council Session (NCS). For the past few National Council Sessions, I’ve been running local in-person and virtual trainings for various councils with success. Not only do I cover the basics of parliamentary procedure, but I also place a focus on motions that you’re most likely to encounter at a NCS. Additionally, I cover what to expect at a microphone along with speaking and debate tips. My trainings run about an hour and a half to two hours depending on the level of engagement and questions. I realize parliamentary procedure isn’t the most exciting topic to study, so I interject humor into my trainings to keep things lively. I can provide references if requested.

I cannot stress the importance of having a basic knowledge of parliamentary procedure at the NCS, because without it, you won’t understand what you’re voting on. It’s extremely important that we have an educated assembly to ensure that we make the best decisions for Girl Scouting while engaging in an efficient session.

If you’re interested in my offer or have questions, please contact me at amy@dawgtoons.com or via LinkedIn on my profile.
