Robert's Rules of Order 2023
This program is an excerpt from the Public Records, Open Meetings Update 2022.
Become a meeting maestro
Feel like you spend too much time in unproductive, chaotic meetings in which nothing is accomplished? You’re not alone. In a 2017 survey, 54% of senior executives from multiple industries characterized their meetings as a waste of time.1 In contrast, most local governments, state governments, associations, and fraternities use parliamentary procedure as a way to facilitate efficient decision-making. Attorneys who work with government entities, private organizations, or any other kind of deliberative body can benefit from implementing similar meeting procedures to accomplish goals.
Robert’s Rules of Order is the standard for encouraging fairness and participation in meetings. Presented by Robert’s Rules fanatic and Milwaukee City Clerk Jim Owczarski, this compelling webcast (seriously!) will demonstrate how the Rules can help you:
- Lead efficient meetings, manage discussion, and streamline decision-making
- Encourage open and respectful dialogue among participants
- Handle disagreements and conflicts diplomatically
