This one-of-a-kind book challenges nonprofit leaders (and anyone
who runs meetings) to retire Robert's Rules of Order and adopt a
simpler, friendlier, and more effective method for conducting
meetings--Roberta's Rules of Order. Using traditional
sailing ships as a metaphor, meetings and governance expert Alice
Collier Cochran helps groups make the journey from the "shore" that
represents the culture of Robert's Rules--procedural formality,
debate, simple majority rule--to the opposite "shore" of Roberta's
Rules--informality, dialogue, and decision-making options.? In
doing so, she helps them to conduct friendlier, more effective
meetings and to take the first step toward creating flexible,
democratic organizations.
