Parliamentary Procedure: the Why and the How (IL)

We hold meetings because we must. They are essential to decision making, and parliamentary procedure helps us meet effectively. “Parliamentary procedure” is an umbrella term, referring to the many rules that provide structure to a meeting where business is transacted. Most meeting gurus swear by Robert’s Rules of Order, and while there are other rulebooks, condominium, townhome and homeowner associations are well-served by Robert’s Rules. To that end, the Association declaration might expressly provide that its meetings are governed by Robert’s Rules as the specific parliamentary authority; for addressing situations where the Association by-laws, rules & regulations, and/or local, state, or federal law do not specify. Alternatively, the Board can adopt a resolution providing for its meetings to be governed by Robert’s Rules.    Read the article…………………….
