Which organization awards the PRP designation?

• A. National Association of Parliamentarians
• B. American Institute of Parliamentarians
• C. Parliament's Guild
• D. International Institute of Parliamentary Procedures

Answer: (A)

The PRP designation is a professional credential in parliamentary procedure awarded by the National Association of Parliamentarians. This organization administers the credential, setting the requirements, exams, and ongoing education needed to become a PRP, recognizing a high level of expertise in applying parliamentary rules and procedures. The other groups listed are not the bodies that confer the PRP credential (they may be involved in related or different certifications or not recognized for this designation). Therefore, the National Association of Parliamentarians is the organization that awards the PRP designation.
