Product Description A concise and user-friendly guide to the essentials for conducting a meeting by the official Robert's Rules of Order authorship committee.
In a club, a condo association, or a board of overseers, how is business carried over from one meeting to the next? How is a meeting best kept on track? Who keeps the order and who decides what the agenda will be in the first place?
The answers to these concerns of assembly can be found in the rulebook of orderly meetings: Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised 10th Edition. But weighing in at over 700 pages, at least 80 percent of its content will be needed less than 20 percent of the time. Those not well versed in parliamentary procedure can find themselves lost while trying to get guidance on the everyday basics.
The solution? Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised Concise. Written by the officially sanctioned Robert's Rules of Order authorship team, this short and user-friendly "cheat-sheet" of a guide briefs readers on the rules most often needed at meetings--from debates and amendments to votes and nominations. With sample dialogues, helpful references to the "big" book throughout, and handy tips for elected or appointed officials, Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised in Brief is the essential abbreviated meeting rulebook.
Excellent purchase. Highly recommend for managers, board members, or someone who wants to structure a meeting.November 29, 2008 I bought this book to bring to the first meetings of a newly formed non-profit group. After reading it, not only did I find applications for the rules of order in the group but also at work, where a structured meeting that adhered to a certain time limit was greatly appreciated. Very good examples throughout the book and easy introduction to terminology. This is a survey book however, so don't expect extensive listings of rules or details.
Very InformativeNovember 25, 2008 A must have for all persons who preside over meetings. Cut down on meeting time, meeting more precise and to the point.
Robert's RulesNovember 23, 2008 I purchased this because I am on the Board of Director's for The Pearl Harbor Hawaiian Civic Club. It is incredibly helpful and I will never go to another meeting with out it!
Read This Before Reading Robert's Rules (in full)November 13, 2008 This slim volume is a great alternative if you're just starting out in parliamentary procedure, without having to thumb through the whole of Robert's Rules. I found it useful and informative, and it gives you a great general idea of how exactly meetings and organizations should be run. Reading the whole of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised would be a great undertaking and it's great that the same authors of that book wrote this condensed version, complete with in depth cross references to the actual text in case you need to dig a little deeper.
