Who scores highest on the Parliamentary Procedure written test to become the parliamentarian?

• A. The outgoing president.
• B. The board chair.
• C. The person scoring highest on the Parliamentary Procedure written test.
• D. The chief advisor.

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that the parliamentarian is chosen based on demonstrated knowledge of parliamentary procedure, as shown by a written test. Because this test measures how well a candidate understands the rules and how to apply them during meetings, the person who earns the highest score proves they have the strongest command of the procedures. The appointment is not determined by who happens to be the outgoing president, the board chair, or the chief advisor; those roles don’t directly decide who takes on the parliamentarian position. So the individual with the top test score is the one best qualified to serve in that capacity.
