Olympia FFA Competes in Section 9 FFA Parliamentary Procedure

 

[April 15, 2020] 

“Is there any new business to come before us at this time?” Those are the words that start ten minutes of making motions, discussions, and voting in a mock meeting.

Six Olympia FFA members competed at the Section 9 Parliamentary Procedure Career Development Event (CDE) on Wednesday, March 11th at Tri-Valley High School.

The Varsity team members were Kailey Little, Josie Litwiller, Kari Simpson, Tyler Miller, Kaylin Simpson, and team chairperson Cavit Schempp.

Parliamentary procedure requires many practices for members to learn basic procedure, additional motions, and the many other details that are required to run an efficient meeting. Participants are judged on their ability to make and discuss motions and answer questions about proper parliamentary procedure.
