Alice Sturgis (1885–1974) was an author and parliamentarian, best known for writing the Sturgis Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure. She was a practicing parliamentarian and consultant to national and international professional and business organizations. She taught at Stanford University and the University of California.[2]
After her death, the American Institute of Parliamentarians took over the preparation of new revisions to the Standard Code. Her name was removed from the title of the book at that time, but she remains listed as an author of the current edition. The book is the parliamentary authority for many organizations, especially in the fields of medicine, education, and libraries.
