The Hawaii State Association of Parliamentarians was founded 1953 in the "Territory of Hawaii" and chartered with the National Associaton of Parliamentarians (NAP) in 1961. In 2003 we celebrated our 50th anniversary. HSAP is a constituent division of the National Association of Parliamentarians. NAP is divided nationally into eight districts and HSAP is part of District 8.
The other members of District 8 are:

 Utah
  Nevada 
  Japan & Commonwealth of the Northern     Marianas

HSAP members may belong to one or more of our 3 local units on Oahu or may be "members-at-large" (members of NAP and HSAP, but belonging to no local unit). The local units meet more often than HSAP and their focus is primarily on education. They actively promote interest in parliamentary procedure in their community and the opportunity to exchange ideas & experiences. The local units encourage all members and guests to participate in discussion and the various educational "practice" lessons provided by unit members at the monthly meetings.

Working and Learning Together at HSAP

Our goals in HSAP continue to be:

 Promoting the study and correct use of parliamentary procedure and the educational programs of NAP at a state and local level.

 Delivering education on parliamentary topics to our community and developing HSAP members' skills. We also actively support, encourage and assist those who are interested in becoming registered parliamentarians, and professional registered parliamentarians.

 Assisting organizations and individuals to find professional parliamentarians to help them with any procedural parliamentarian problem they may be faced with.
