Primary purpose of CAP is to promote closer cooperation among parliamentarians in Colorado and to further the growing interest in parliamentary procedure.
CAP welcomes all interested persons. Membership is individual, based on knowledge of the fundamental principles of parliamentary law.
Each member pays dues to NAP, CAP, and the Colorado Unit to which he or she is a member or as a Member at Large (MAL).
Local study units are composed of students, members, registered, and professional registered members. The units generally meet monthly to study parliamentary procedure with a high level of individual participation. Members learn by doing and progress at their own rate of speed.
The Colorado Parliamentarian and the National Parliamentarian are published quarterly and mailed to all members.
Professional registered parliamentarians, registered parliamentarians, and members serve organizations with a wide variety of parliamentary law services such as teaching individuals and groups, speaking on parliamentary law, assisting with bylaws, organizing meetings and seminars, service as a parliamentarian, presiding at meetings, and offering parliamentary advice to presiding officers, governing boards, and committees.
The Traveling Gavel can and will travel to your location to provide practical parliamentary information, education, and motivation adapted to meet your organization’s specific needs for a nominal fee. For additional information or to schedule an educational offering contact:
