About Us

Jurassic Parliament was created in 2000 by Ann Macfarlane. In 2008 she and Andrew Estep joined in partnership to expand the endeavor. The partners, both with decades of experience in nonprofit board and association management, recognized the need for approachable and inspiring leadership and board management training tailored to public and nonprofit organizations.

As a registered parliamentarian and a gifted speaker, Ann has developed a series of classes that offer positive, upbeat, encouraging instruction to energize clients and help them improve their organizations. Jurassic Parliament began as a fun, engaging way to learn parliamentary procedure and has expanded to provide lessons for leaders, beyond the boardroom.

About Ann Macfarlane

An inspirational, energetic and enthusiastic trainer, Ann Macfarlane presents parliamentary procedure as an understandable language that clients can use to improve communication in board, council or committee settings. Ann is a Russian translator whose languages include Urdu and ancient Greek, but she ranks Robert’s Rules of Order as one of her most challenging texts. Who better to teach you this unique and often intimidating language than a linguist/parliamentarian?
