trade association--chances are this book can save you many boring
meeting minutes. This friendly guide translates "Robert's Rules of
Order, " the essential guide for conducting meetings of all types, into

elementary school carnival, this is the book for you. Written by a
Professional Registered Parliamentarian, it covers everything from the
basics of bylaws that establish the real framework of your organization
to the requirements for a legal meeting, from how to use an agenda to
plan your next meeting and keep things on track to voting procedure and
putting ideas into motion--and so much more.This new edition is
published in response to the revised 11th edition of "Robert's Rules of
Order" Techniques for following parliamentary procedures to effectively
manage meetings of any size. Helps you stay current with the latest
updates to the rules of order and parliamentary procedure.
Complete
with a glossary of parliamentary terms and sample agendas, reports, and
minutes, this guide has everything you need but a gavel. Whether you
belong to an elite country club or a civic organization, an investment
club or a volunteer fire department, when you use the principles in this
book, meetings won't be dominated by the loudest or pushiest member or
go on and on and on and on and on . . . -- Publisher Marketing
