Description
In 1876, Henry Martyn Robert published the first edition of Robert's Rules of Order, then known as the Pocket Manual of Rules of Order for Deliberative Assemblies. The book was based on the House of Representatives' meeting procedures and adapted these method for use in society. Since these rules debuted, they have become the most commonly adopted parliamentary method in the United States, with approximately 95 percent of all organizations practicing them. Today, books on this topic lack focus on current trends, specifically the Internet. However, this new book emphasizes this fact and stresses how society has changed due to the advent of the Internet. Clubs and organizations need to know how to meet and organizations need to know how to meet and communicate online, and this book provides the answer.
