CCSD Partnering with Parliamentarian to Assist Board of Trustees
Charleston County School District (CCSD) on Friday announced that it is partnering with Liz Guthridge to offer parliamentarian services to the Board of Trustees.
Guthridge is a Professional Registered Parliamentarian, certified by the National Association of Parliamentarians, who resides locally in Charleston. According to CCSD, she is a “classically trained parliamentarian with a practical orientation who strives to help individuals and organizations solve their parliamentary procedure and related meeting/organizational challenges.”
“Thanks to my public high school in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, I got a head start on learning parliamentary procedure,” Guthridge said. “As a member of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America), I competed in parliamentary procedure team contests on the state and national level. These experiences showed me the value of deliberative meeting practices. Years later, I remain committed to applying the principles of Robert’s Rules of Order to conduct meetings openly, efficiently, and fairly. I’m looking forward to working with the Board of Trustees, especially in support of public education and the schools in Charleston County.”
Guthridge is a graduate of Northwestern University (BSJ), the University of Connecticut (MBA), and the University of Southern California (MA). She has an Executive Masters from the NeuroLeadership Institute and has studied habits and behavior design with Dr. BJ Fogg of Stanford University. She also serves as a volunteer coach for the College of Charleston MBA Women of Impact Program.
