In honor of Representative Town Meeting, this weekend we’ll take a short look at Parliamentary Procedure and Robert’s Rules of Order.
This video shows how your 4-H club or other organization can be an effective governing body by using well-recognized procedures for meetings. They cover everything from committee reports to making and amending budgets, tabling items, and delaying actions on items.
How doess this fit with creativity? While it seems a bit stuffy, a lot pf creativity can come by knowing the rules and working within them, or breaking them. Robert’s Rules offer those who use them some power to influence the outcome of a meeting.
