Code of Ethics: The Code of Ethics for Commissioners and Staff was developed by members of the NAPC through an interactive process beginning with a series of facilitated sessions held during the July 2006 NAPC FORUM in Baltimore, MD. The resulting set of principles was further developed and refined by members during the following three-month period leading up to the November 2006 annual meeting of NAPC in Pittsburgh, PA.
NAPC Short Guide to Parliamentary Procedure: The National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC) has compiled and written For the Record: The NAPC Short Guide to Parliamentary Procedure to help commission members and staff understand parliamentary procedure and to serve as a handy reference when questions arise. Like any tool, however, this guide won’t help if it isn’t used. So, read it, study it, make notes in the margins, and keep it within easy reach.
