The Tennessee Association of Parliamentarians currently has four active units across the state.

These units provide an opportunity for members of the National Association of Parliamentarians to develop their expertise on effective meeting procedures through a combination of group study, discussion, and practice.

While individual study can be very effective in gaining parliamentary knowledge, many members find it invaluable to have the experience of presiding over meetings, taking minutes, delivering financial reports, and preparing a bylaws revision in a supportive learning atmosphere before they need to perform these duties for another organization to which they belong. NAP units provide this opportunity, as well as the benefit of discussing challenging meeting situations with experienced parliamentarians who can help formulate solutions.

Tennessee has five active units. These units are:

ALPHA Unit (located in Knoxville)

President - Janice Stapleton

---

BETA Unit (located in Memphis)

President - Dr. Charles A. Schulz, PRP

Beta Unit meets every 4th Monday at 6:00 p.m. (except in months of August and December). The meeting is held at the Poplar-White Station Library, 5094 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee. An educational session on parliamentary procedure is given at every monthly meeting.

For more information on Beta Unit please contact Dr. Schultz at parliprop@bellsouth.net.
