Rules of Order

Rules of Order are established procedures and protocols that govern the conduct and organization of meetings. They are designed to ensure that meetings run efficiently, fairly, and in an orderly manner. Robert’s Rules of Order, a widely recognized set of parliamentary rules, is often used as a reference point. These rules outline the roles of participants, the order of business, how to make motions, vote on proposals, and maintain decorum. By adhering to Rules of Order, meetings can be conducted with clarity, consistency, and fairness, allowing participants to engage in productive discussions and make informed decisions.
