Which officer calls attention to errors in procedure during a meeting?

• A. Secretary
• B. Parliamentarian
• C. President
• D. Treasurer

Answer: (B)

Parliamentary procedure requires someone to watch the rules and correct missteps as the meeting happens. The officer responsible for that is the parliamentarian. They monitor how motions are made, debated, and decided, and they can raise a point of order or offer guidance on the proper sequence and form of actions to ensure everything follows the established rules. This keeps the meeting orderly and fair, and it supports the presiding officer in making correct procedural decisions. The president leads the meeting, the secretary handles minutes, and the treasurer manages finances, but the task of calling attention to procedural errors specifically belongs to the parliamentarian.
