From President Taylor (M. Stanley Ryan Unit of Parliamentarians)

Thank you to everyone who attended the September meeting of the M. Stanley Ryan Unit of Parliamentarians. It was great to see so many of you (24) online as we resumed our meetings and training after our summer break. It was a joy to see the new members and the potential members in attendance as well. I look forward to being with you all again in October as we work to increase our parliamentary knowledge and handle the business of our unit. As you know, the election for unit officers will take place in November. If you are interested in serving the unit as an officer feel free to contact the Nominating Committee (A. Dabney, R. Liker, J. Wells).
