Who is responsible for maintaining order during FBLA meetings?

The individual responsible for maintaining order during FBLA meetings is the FBLA National Parliamentarian. The role of the parliamentarian is to ensure that meetings are conducted in accordance with established rules, such as Robert's Rules of Order. This involves managing the flow of debate, enforcing rules of parliamentary procedure, and ensuring that all members have the opportunity to speak and participate in discussions. Maintaining order is crucial for effective meetings, allowing the organization to operate smoothly and decisions to be made in an organized manner.

While other officers, like the president, may facilitate meetings and guide discussions, it is the parliamentarian's responsibility to uphold the structure and order necessary for procedural integrity. The president focuses on leadership and agenda setting, but the parliamentarian specifically ensures that these activities adhere to parliamentary rules.
