Steps to take to become a parliamentarian in TN 

Thanks

How to become a Parliamentarian?  Get business cards printed that say "Guest Rodney,  Parliamentarian" 😉

Hang your shingle, so to speak.

But to become a good one, join one of the two national organizations that JJ referred to and put in the necessary study and take the necessary tests to become credentialed. it takes quite a bit of study. There is no state licensing of parliamentarians anywhere that I am aware of. Anyone can call himself a parliamentarian, but getting certified (or credentialed) by one of the two national organizations proves that you probably have some idea of what you are doing and gives you credibility.

It probably gives you some neasure of credibility. Whether the credibility is deserved is another matter. I have known some credentialed members who led me to wonder how they ever got credentialed. Fortunatly, not many (at least that I have met).

You could say the same for some doctors, lawyers, accountants, or mechanics.
