Margaret Cairns Munns (1870–1957) was an American pioneer school teacher of Washington State and a temperance reformer. She served as Treasurer of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) (1915–46) and later, as Treasurer of the World's WCTU (1925–53).[1] Closely allied to her contribution to the work of the WCTU was the interest which Munns manifested in parliamentary procedure.[2]
