Remember Robert's Rules of Order. There are times when a more formal process can be helpful and times when it can be an encumbrance and times in-between when some formality might help. When some or a lot of formality might be helpful you may want to consider incorporating all or some of Robert's Rules of Order. Underlying these rules, always remember three fundamental principals. 1. Everyone needs to be treated with dignity and respect. 2. Everyone needs to be heard. 3. All of the information needs to be clear for everyone. For [email protected] Property of Bookemon, do NOT distribute 35
