Your Fitness, Wellness, and Recreation Committee of SaddleBrooke TWO, in conjunction with the Old Pueblo Unit of the National Association of Parliamentarians, is pleased to announce a free two-hour seminar entitled “Robert’s Rules Can Change Your Life.” The seminar will be held on Monday, March 2, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the MountainView Ballroom East.
If you are a member of any club or organization that uses Robert’s Rules, then this educational event is for you. The information you receive will be empowering for you, and you will no longer feel intimidated when someone in the group claims to know the proper procedure during a meeting of any kind. If you are a member of an executive board or committee of an organization, then this seminar should be a “must-do” on your schedule. When a person is charged with operating a club, etc., it would be considered irresponsible to not be familiar with the Rules!
Topics covered will include Fundamental Principles and Tenets, Hierarchy of Laws, Handling Simple Motions and Commonly Used Motions, Useful Shortcuts, and Common Errors. Questions will be taken throughout. Following will be a role-playing segment, during which time, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a couple of mock meetings. This will all be fun and exciting, a real chance to learn about Robert’s Rules of Order. Your participation in your organization will be much enhanced, and you will be better equipped to handle anything that arises. You and the rest of the organization will be able to get more things done in less time and with no animosity. You will be happier!
Requirements: While the seminar is free, each person must purchase and read ahead of time Robert’s Rules of Order, Newly Revised, in Brief. That should take only two or three hours. The paperback book (which I recommend so you can take notes in it) can be purchased on Amazon for about $7.99 (one copy per couple is okay). Additionally, each person must bring something with which to take notes. Attendees also must sign up in advance and bring their copy of Robert’s Rules to the event.
