Toward Real Liberty offers the services of association consultant and professional parliamentarian Jacob D. Gerber. Jacob has served a wide variety of associations nationwide as a professional parliamentarian and consultant since 2001 in several ways, including:
- Assisting presiding officers through meeting preparation, script-writing, and in-meeting advising.
- Bylaws, rules and governance document consulting, whether to help a new association begin on the right foot, or to freshen up old, outdated documents.
- Training association memberships, boards, and officers to work more effectively and efficiently.
- Writing professional parliamentary opinions to help untangle associations from procedural snarls.
- Presiding professionally over meetings and conventions, freeing presidents from the stress of presiding and from the rules that prohibit presiding officers from advocating for their own positions.
Jacob D. Gerber currently resides in Lincoln, NE. He is a Certified Professional Parliamentarian (CPP) and a Certified Teacher of Parliamentary Procedure (-T) with the American Institute of Parliamentarians. He is the only active CPP-T in the state of Nebraska.
