Resolution adopted by the Region 1 Conference held May 13, 2006 in Spokane, Washington.
Whereas, The American Institute of Parliamentarians and the National Association of Parliamentarians share similar goals and objectives in providing leadership training and workshops in parliamentary procedure and in the education of members and nonmembers in parliamentary law;
Whereas, AIP and NAP have worked together in the past in such ventures as the Joint Ethics Statement and have plans to continue such work in the future;
Whereas, It may be more efficient if such work be done as one organization rather than through duplication of efforts and work by two independent organizations;
Whereas, Many members of each organization are also members of both; and
Whereas, Both organizations now include members from outside the United States and North America; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the 2006 Northwest Region One Conference recommends that the Board of Directors of AIP investigate the possibility of a
consolidation of AIP and NAP;
Resolved, That any such united organization have a name that reflects the international scope of its members; and
Resolved, That the secretary of the Region One of AIP send a copy of this resolution to each member of the Board of Directors of AIP.
