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 

You’ll learn the basic elements of Robert’s Rules used by organizations and government entities. Understand how the rules are designed to preserve order, promote decision-making, and encourage participants to speak up, even when they’re in the minority. 

Whether you work with government entities, volunteer with an organization, run business meetings, or lead a staff, Robert’s Rules of Order can help you take your meetings from tortuous to triumphant.
