Bids must be submitted to Procurement@arts.ca.gov.

The Contractor must possess current Professional Registered Parliamentarian credentials through either the National Association of Parliamentarians (NAP) or hold Certified Professional Parliamentarian status from the American Institute of Parliamentarians (AIP). Required qualifications include demonstrated expertise in Robert's Rules of Order, experience serving as a parliamentarian for public bodies, boards, or commissions, and familiarity with the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act. The contractor must possess the necessary equipment, technology, and internet or wireless connectivity to provide services remotely.
