Raplyn Consulting’s services are provided by one or more professional parliamentarians, accredited through the National Association of Parliamentarians and/or the American Institute of Parliamentarians. Members of both organizations are bound by the NAP and AIP Joint Code of Ethics for Parliamentarians. This code prescribes the highest level of professionalism and ethical business practice.

In most cases, services are provided directly by Dan Lynch, founder and sole proprietor of Raplyn Consulting.
