THE ISLAND OF GUAM - PROTOCOL GUIDE DEVELOPMENT

The Protocol Guide of the Territory of Guam was first released in 1981. The Committee on Rules of the 16th Guam Legislature passed Resolution No. 58 which established a Sub-committee to draft a State Protocol Guide for Guam. The State Protocol Guide serves as a reference for official etiquette and protocol. Ensuring respect and good manners are practiced to prevent detracting from the main purpose of the visit or event.

A second publication of the Protocol Guide of Guam was released by the 22nd Guam Legislature. In 1993, a Subcommittee on Protocol Guide was formed and after careful deliberations, updates were made to the existing guide. The Subcommittee was comprised of the following:

Senator Madeleine Z. Bordallo, Chairperson
Senator Elizabeth P. Arriola, Member
Senator Antonio R. Unpingco, Member
Ms. Portia Guerrero, Governor's Office
Ms. Merci J. Hernandez, Superior Court of Guam
Mr. Jose Santos, Mayor's Council of Guam
Consul General Kyung Tai Park, Consular Corps of Guam
Lt. Keith Spencer, Protocol Office Commander Naval Forces Marianas
Major Ida M. Jones, Protocol Office Commander of the 13th Air Force, Andersen
Tech. Sergeant Julia McKenny, Protocol Office Commander of the 13th Air Force, Andersen
Rev. Adrian Cristobal, Archdiocese of Agana
Rev. Neil Culbertson, President, Guam Ministerial Association
Mr. Darryl A. Borja Taggerty, Office of Guam Delegate Robert A. Underwood

This latest revision of the Protocol Guide of Guam is authorized by the 35th Guam Legislature Committee on Rules. The Subcommittee reviewed previous editions of the guide and updated it to reflect today's official protocols. The Subcommittee was comprised of the following:

Senator Mary Camacho Torres, Chairperson
Lieutenant Governor Joshua Tenorio, Member
Mr. Carlo Branch, Member
Mrs. Joanne Camacho, Member
Ms. Jean Chabanne, Member
Ms. Jennifer Dulla, Member
Ms. Therese M. Hart, Member
Mayor Robert Hoffman, Member
Mr. Joseph San Agustin, Member
The revised edition was approved by the 35th Guam Legislature Committee on Rules on July, 2019.
