Administrative Skills (Pathway Bundle)

When a proposal comes before a meeting, how do you ensure it is handled fairly, efficiently, and with clarity? Parliamentary procedure equips you with proven tools to frame the issue, guide discussion, make appropriate modifications, and reach a decision without unnecessary delay. This Administrative Skills series introduces you to the essential motions used to move business forward. You’ll explore how to refine proposals, manage member conduct, and use different types of motions—including dilatory, improper, assumed, and renewal motions—to keep meetings productive. By applying these skills, you’ll be able to achieve clear, well-timed, and accurately worded decisions that reflect the will of the group. These courses have been developed as an online offering derived from the third AIP Correspondence Course on Administrative Skills. Rather than sitting and reading or listening to an e-Learning course in a single pass, we structured this online experience to compliment and enhance the readings on each topic. Each course contains assigned readings from the required textbooks, an interactive lesson, and a quiz to assess your knowledge. All of the quiz questions have answers provided when you take each lesson's quiz. You can take these courses at your own speed and return to each as many times as you would like. The average time to complete each course is one week. All courses will be available to you for a period of two years. We hope you will find this course both interesting and useful. The following books are required to complete these courses: - Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, 12th edition - American Institute of Parliamentarians Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure Please visit the AIP Bookstore using the link in the navigation menu above.
