Organization
YPM is a model parliament and bases its organizational structure and nomenclature on the Westminster Parliamentary system. YPM has three primary, organizational groups: the Board of Directors (also known as the Parliamentary Executive), the Cabinet, and the backbenchers. (The backbenchers and the Cabinet are also collectively termed Members-at-Large.) As well, Senators and an Honorary President can be appointed by the Board of Directors from time to time.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world’s goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.”
—Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Your organization is not a praying institution. It’s a fighting institution. It’s an educational institution right along industrial lines. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
