    Parliamentarian

    Jimmy Malone, As a tenured Parliamentarian for the COMTO Local Dallas Chapter I have a proven track record of supporting the local Presidents’ in a plethora of  roles and responsibilities. My responsibility to the local chapter has been as  an individual who advises board members and presiding officers on parliamentary procedures to include, (i.e., preparing for meetings, counting  ballots, tracking of those wishing to speak, amendments, motions, handling  procedural questions, maintaining order, etc.). Moreover, during my tenure  I’ve been able to serve as an impartial adviser. Professionally, I’ve served to  improve the organizations effectiveness in a variety of different settings and  circumstances.

    Meanwhile, If afforded the opportunity to serve once again, I will take on  the roles and responsibilities for making sure that our organization board  follows the correct procedures and basically serve as an adviser on the  well-known Robert’s Rules of Order process in board meetings.

    Finally, I look forward to serving once again as your Local Dallas Chapter  Parliamentarian and hope that you’ll give me another opportunity – with  your vote, to do so.

We believe that diversity moves the nation.

We believe that the leadership of a massive industry that has the responsibility of transporting all people all the time should reflect the complex mosaic of those they serve. We believe that commitment to inclusion across race, gender, age, religion, identity and experience moves us forward every day.
