Robert's Rules Of Order Newly Revised In Brief (Roberts Rules of Order (in Brief))

The Robert's Rules Of Order are a simple and easy way to refferance how a meeting should be conducted and since they are universilly accepted as the only rules of order, they have a genuine purpose for any type of meetings you might want to conduct.

I bought this book to bring to the first meetings of a newly formed non-profit group. After reading it, not only did I find applications for the rules of order in the group but also at work, where a structured meeting that adhered to a certain time limit was greatly appreciated. Very good examples throughout the book and easy introduction to terminology. This is a survey book however, so don't expect extensive listings of rules or details.

A must have for all persons who preside over meetings.
Cut down on meeting time, meeting more precise and to the point.

I purchased this because I am on the Board of Director's for The Pearl Harbor Hawaiian Civic Club. It is incredibly helpful and I will never go to another meeting with out it!

This slim volume is a great alternative if you're just starting out in parliamentary procedure, without having to thumb through the whole of Robert's Rules. I found it useful and informative, and it gives you a great general idea of how exactly meetings and organizations should be run. Reading the whole of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised would be a great undertaking and it's great that the same authors of that book wrote this condensed version, complete with in depth cross references to the actual text in case you need to dig a little deeper.
