For more than 60 years, American Institute of Parliamentarians Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure (formerly, the Sturgis Standard Code) has been helping meeting organizers and participants ensure fairness and justice on a consistent basis. This updated edition provides important new motions and protocols pertaining to electronic meetings, discipline, and finance and audit committees.

“The Standard Code lays out the rules in a clear, concise, and readable format for all to use.”
—former U.S. Senator Don Nickles

—Robert Dove, Parliamentarian Emeritus of the United States Senate

“Takes uncommon terminology and puts it in everyday terms for more clarity in meetings. The Standard Code is an important addition to any parliamentary library.”
