Biographical history
Following a 1969 meeting with Speaker of the House A.J. Dixon, nine women, Flodia Belter, Barbara Shearer, Betty David, Grace Armstrong, Myrtle Costuros, Muriel Cowan, Blanche Gourlay, Sheila MacKay and Min Pettigrew, set about organizing an association to promote the study and use of Parliamentary Procedure as it relates to non-legislative bodies. The Alberta Association of Parliamentarians was incorporated September 8, 1970 under the <em>Societies Act</em>, to develop a knowledge of Parliamentary Procedure among its members. Flodia Belter served as the Association's first president. More specifically, the Alberta Association of Parliamentarians aimed to provide a medium for the exchange of suggestions and ideas for fostering and developing a knowledge of Parliamentary Procedure among its members, community, groups, clubs, societies and associations, to foster and develop recognition of the importance of Parliamentary Procedure, to encourage full and objective study of Parliamentary Procedure, to co-operate with all members and groups desirous of knowledge, and or, instructions in Parliamentary Procedure, and to encourage the writing of examinations in order to obtain the goal of a Registered Parliamentarian. The Alberta Association of Parliamentarians became the Alberta Association of Procedural Parliamentarians on November 17, 1978, which was officially registered November 13, 1979. The name was changed to avoid the confusion of being perceived as a politically affiliated society or as members of a politically inclined body.
