  • PROTOCOL Introduction Council Meetings
    PROTOCOL As Adapted from Supreme booklet #1612 Introduction By definition, protocol is the rigid code setting forth the degree of obedience, the order of precedence, the rules of official and social behavior. We can add further that it covers anything that is proper and in good taste. It would be impossible to cite every rule governing every situation. The following suggestions are rather common and basic. Always apply common courtesy and you will never go wrong in those situations not covered in the booklet. We should always display proper consideration for the office represented by the person. In no way should we let dislike for a person influence our respect for the office he holds. Council Meetings The Grand Knight must conduct his meetings in strict accordance with the Charter, Constitution and Laws of the Knights of Columbus, supplemented by the State Council's By-Laws, the Council's By- Laws and according to parliamentary procedure. The standard reference on the subject is "Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised" available from a local library or bookstore. The order of business for conducting a council meeting is outlined in the "Responsibilities of the Grand Knight" (#1937) available from the Supreme Council Supply Department. In addition to learning these rules and following them scrupulously, the Grand Knight must control the meeting politely but firmly, so that it does not get out of hand through unnecessary arguments or unpleasant wrangling. The Grand Knight should prevent any discussion from wandering from the business of the day. The Grand Knight is the presiding Officer in the council.

  • A Guide to Tennessee Protocol FOREWORD
    A Guide To Tennessee Protocol FOREWORD he 108th General Assembly of Tennessee passed legislation authorizing the Secretary of State to develop a protocol manual to be used throughout state government, at the option T of each of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Working closely with Representative John Ragan (R–Oak Ridge), the Secretary of State’s office developed this manual with reference to the protocol guide prepared by the Commonwealth of Virginia, which first published its guide in 1977. The Guide to Virginia Protocol was initially developed for use by the Virginia Governor’s office after Virginians hosted many visiting dignitaries, and official functions during the Commonwealth of Virginia’s 1976 bicentennial year brought about numerous questions regarding protocol and procedure. It was intended as a concise reference outlining recommended, acceptable practices consistent with modern lifestyle and approved social etiquette. It was not meant to address all contingencies, but to set forth some rules that could be applied and lead to logical solutions to situations that might arise. It is hoped that the procedures and guidelines suggested in this publication will assist users in formulating answers to their questions based on accepted practices and common sense. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of Contents 1 PROTOCOL .................................................................................................................... 1 Precedence ..............................................................................................................................................1

  • The Queen's Orders of Chivalry The
    The Queen’s Orders of Chivalry The Queen’s Orders of Chivalry by Brigadier Sir Ivan De la Bere is a 1964 revised edition from Spring Books, Westbrook House, London. The book is a hard cover, fully bound volume of 228 pages in 16 chapters with index, black and white illustrations and drawings. It was printed in Czechoslovakia by Tisk, Brno. The original copy- right is by William Kimber and Co. Ltd, 1961. In spite of having only a minor interest in British orders, I find this book fascinating because it contains so much detail on orders, decorations and medals. In addition to giving the Collar Days and the order of precedence of insignia, it has rules for wearing breast stars, for wearing more than one neck-badge, for wearing insignia on mess dress, full evening dress, dinner jacket, etc., for wearing miniatures, and for wearing of insignia by ladies. The general rules for acceptance and wear of foreign orders, decorations and medals are included. De la Bere presents an historical overview of the origins and purposes of honors before describing the specific orders. In his overview he discusses many points in contention such as the need for recognition of sports figures by an unique award, the troublesome increase in awards in contemporary times, substitution of one gallantry cross and one gallantry medal for the military services, the elimination of some awards, and the great amount of insignia of deceased members in the hands of overseas dealers and collectors. Following the discussion of knighthood there are seven fully developed and highly informative chapters on the Garter, Thistle, Bath, Saint Michael and Saint George, Royal Victorian Order and Royal Victorian Chain, Order of the British Empire, and the Orders of Merit and Companions of Honour.

  • The Order of Precedence of the United States of America
    THE ORDER OF PRECEDENCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Revised on May 14, 2020 The U.S. Order of Precedence is an advisory document maintained by the Ceremonials Division of the Office of the Chief of Protocol. The U.S. Order of Precedence is not the order of succession. For purposes of protocol, the U.S. Order of Precedence establishes the order and ranking of the United States leadership for official events at home and abroad, e.g. seating or speaking order. Although this document establishes a general order for the country’s highest-level positions, it does not include every positional title across the federal government. Offices of Protocol for the executive departments and independent agencies should be consulted for internal rankings regarding positions not listed. In 1908, the Roosevelt Administration created the first U.S. Order of Precedence as a means of settling a history of embarrassment, confusion, and miscommunication amongst officials invited to events at the White House. As the structure of the federal government evolved, this list has adapted and grown. The President of the United States may make adjustments to the Cabinet, to give certain White House positions the status of Cabinet-rank which then follow the heads of the executive departments. The U.S. Order of Precedence is used primarily in diplomacy. International rules on precedence were first established at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. By determining that envoys of equal title would be ranked according to the date and hour that they presented their credentials to the government that accredited them for service, the Congress of Vienna solidified a fair and justifiable system for diplomatic relations.

  • Order of Precedence of the United States of America
    THE ORDER OF PRECEDENCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Revised on November 3, 2017 The United States Order of Precedence is an advisory document maintained by the Ceremonials Division of the Office of the Chief of Protocol. For purposes of protocol, the U.S. Order of Precedence establishes the order and ranking of the United States leadership for official events at home and abroad. Although this document establishes a general order for the country’s highest-level positions, it does not include every positional title across the federal government. Offices of Protocol for the Executive Departments and independent agencies should be consulted for internal rankings regarding positions not listed. In 1908, the Roosevelt Administration created the first U.S. Order of Precedence as a means of settling a history of embarrassment, confusion and miscommunication amongst officials invited to events at the White House. As the structure of the federal government has evolved over time this list has adapted and grown. The President of the United States may make adjustments to The Cabinet, giving certain White House positions the status of Cabinet-rank, positions which then follow the heads of the Executive Departments. One of the primary uses of the order of precedence is in diplomacy. International rules on precedence were first established at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. By determining that envoys of equal title would be ranked according to the date and hour that they presented their credentials to the government that accredited them for service, the Congress of Vienna solidified a fair and justifiable system for diplomatic relations.
