However, while that motion was passed without any dissent or discussion, chapters may find that different members have contentious viewpoints when attempting to pass more controversial motions. This is where debate comes in. Debate, quite simply, is a discussion of the pros and cons of a specific motion; during debate, each member can express their views on a topic, and can attempt to sway other members to their side. However, as anyone who’s ever been in an argument before knows, debating a topic can occasionally get heated. For this reason, there is a very specific set of rules in place to make sure that

Hello Again, Arizona HOSA!

Welcome to this month’s edition of “Parli Pro With Ryan O!” Once again, I am your state parliamentarian, Ryan O’Hara. This monthly series aims to teach each and every member the ins and outs of parliamentary procedure through short, easily understood articles. Without further ado, I call the third session of “Parli Pro With Ryan O” to order!

~ Motions are used to bring business before an assembly, allowing your chapter to make decisions.

~ Before a motion can be debated, it must be moved and seconded. A second indicates that another member wishes to discuss the motion, not that they necessarily agree with it.

~ Proper phrasing is essential when making motions! To see a complete list of the wording to be used during every step of a motion, refer to the August edition of “Parli Pro With Ryan O.”
