Roberts Rules of Order are one of the most accepted forms of meeting management procedures. While it hard to believe, they were developed in the 1800’s (not a typo!) Yes, they have been revised and updated however in my 20+ years of experience it seems that many organizations use a small portion of the rules or just don’t use any accepted form of parliamentary procedural rules of order.
I am very impressed with Susan Leahy and her creation of “Roberts Rules Made Simple”
Have a look at this video and if your organization is ‘stuck’ on Roberts you may want to make use of Susan’s training videos.
