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:
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.
• 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.
