Library List:
Robert's
Rules of Order 4th Edition, Henry M. Robert
Complete
Idiots Guide to Robert's Rules, Nancy Sylvester PRP, CPP-T
Parliamentary procedures help establish a process for conducting business
in a group. The process is used to help a group come to a decision in
a fair manner. It also helps a group to stay focused and resolve issues.
Most Noted Parliamentarians: Henry M. Robert, originally published
1876, 4th edition 1915, still in print with 10th edition 2000.
Alice Sturgis, originally published 1950, American Institute of Parliamentarians
is still making revisions.
George Demeter, originally published 1948; Paul Mason originally published
1935;
Hugh Cannon originally published 1992.
Robert's Rules: Henry Martyn Robert 1837-1923 was a general in
the U.S. Army. He researched parliamentary procedure after being elected
chairman of a group. He found many discrepancies in the existing books
and decided to simplify the procedure. Many groups still use his rules
to conduct their meetings today.
Famous Quote: "Where there is no law, but every man does
what is right in his own eyes, there is the least of real liberty."
Henry M. Robert, December 1875
Interesting Fact: Parliamentary Procedure is adaptable for different
size groups. The larger the group the more formal the meeting should
be but always consider "what is the fairest thing to do in this
situation?" Remember to apply this to all and not just yourself.
