A parliamentarian manages procedure and rules that are to be followed when the group comes together to discuss possible actions and to make decisions. Whether a formal or informal meeting, parliamentary procedure defines how decisions are to be made and everyone’s time is used, resulting in the efficient making of those decisions while taking into consideration everyone’s opinion. It is the job of the parliamentarian to monitor the meeting and to make sure that proper procedures are followed.

An important skill for those who serve in the role of committee chair is effective planning. While the board provides the committee with a charter and specific duties, the committee chair must keep the organization's purpose, mission and strategic direction in mind as the committee pursues its course. A committee chair must carefully plan an agenda and send it out to the committee members in sufficient time for committee members to attend the meeting and to participate thoughtfully. Careful preparation on the committee chair's part will streamline the committee's work as they conduct investigations and perform research on the issues they need to tackle.
