Which office helps manage parliamentary procedure during meetings?

• A. Secretary
• B. Parliamentarian
• C. Chaplin
• D. Scribe

Answer: (B)

Parliamentary procedure during meetings is guided by a role that specializes in interpreting the rules, advising on motions, and keeping debate orderly. This person, the Parliamentarian, helps the chair apply procedures correctly, clarifies how to bring a motion, how debate should proceed, and how votes are conducted, often serving as an impartial adviser who may not vote themselves. The Secretary, by contrast, handles records and minutes; the Chaplain provides ceremonial or spiritual support; and a Scribe would traditionally document proceedings without guiding procedural rules. So the best fit for managing how meetings run by the book is the Parliamentarian.
