Congratulations to Genoa-Kingston FFA Parli Pro team! Back in December they competed, won and will be moving on to the district competition! Good luck!! What is Parli Pro? Parliamentary procedure is a team leadership development event where the students run a mock meeting for 11 minutes, demonstrating their knowledge of parliamentary procedure. They have to make a motion, do discussions, attempt to dispose of the motion and then after the demonstration answer questions about the rules of parliamentary procedure. They also take a written exam!
