Ramsey County Library, Roseville Branch
2180 Hamline Avenue North
Are you an officer or official for a civic, service or government group?
Are you a new officer who would like to be introduced to the basics of parliamentary procedure?
Are you a member of a group who would like to take part in more effective and efficient meetings?
This
is an opportunity you will not want to miss!
Thomas Gmeinder,
internationally renown as one of the world’s foremost
professional parliamentarians, will lead a symposium on January
25 from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
at the Roseville Branch of the Ramsey
County Library. Mr. Gmeinder
has taught thousands of people how to have meetings that produce results and
save time. He is certified to teach
parliamentary procedure and will be
sharing his extensive knowledge to help you conduct better meetings.
Mr.
Gmeinder says, “The correct use of parliamentary procedure promotes common
sense and common courtesy. Those
who understand and use parliamentary procedure to its best advantage are able to
conduct democratic, flexible meetings where members rights are protected and a
fair hearing is assured for all.” He
adds, “Robert’s Rules of Order
is not meant to be used as a weapon, but rather as a time-tested tool to
facilitate the meeting process.”
Through
this instructive session, Mr. Gmeinder will teach you the purpose and importance
of agendas, how to insure your group’s members get their say, how to present,
move and vote on motions, and the use of “seconds.”
