Bare-Bones Board Rules

Description: Short and simple list of the essential rules for a board to function correctly. Can be adopted by your organization to improve board meetings immediately.

Details: Rules of procedure, rules of order, standing rules, bylaws - the array of guidelines, rules and requirements pertaining to boards of directors can seem overwhelming. This Mastery Lesson provides the essential rules and customary practices which ensure successful board meetings. The rules are especially useful for organizations whose members dislike formality, which might include a chamber of commerce, a service club, a neighborhood group or a parent-teacher association. Groups that use and refer to Robert's Rules of Order may prefer to adopt our "Small Board Standing Rules."
