Most public bodies use some form of Roberts Rules of Order for their meetings. To the uninitiated, the rules and process may be confusing and sound unnecessarily formal. But with a better understanding of Roberts Rules, members of a governing board, staff and consultants can navigate the public debate and decision-making process. This webinar provides a basic understanding of how Robert Rules works, how to navigate the rules, maintain ethical standards, and how to ensure that public meetings move efficiently without becoming too bogged down in minutiae while simultaneously ensuring that all voices are heard. The webinar will provide examples of how to ethically adapt Robert’s Rules to a particular circumstance – whether it be a highly formal or a much more informal public meeting.
This webinar willl fulfill the requirement of 2 Ethics CEUs for A.A.E.s for the current cycle.
