Many thanks!See RONR (10th Ed.), pages 15-17, 561-562 and page 569 for an example of the wording as provided in the sample bylaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David A Foulkes Posted April 6, 2011 at 10:02 PM Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 at 10:02 PM Do Robert's Rule of Order applies only to business meeting or can it be applied to Board/officer meetings?"The term regular meeting (or stated meeting) refers to the periodic business meeting of a permanent society, local branch, or board, held at weekly, monthly quarterly, or similar intervals, for which the day (as, "the first Tuesday of each month") should be prescribed by the bylaws and the hour should be fixed by a standing rule of the society." (RONR 10th Ed. p. 87 ll. 17-22)All meetings (of a regular deliberative assembly) are business meetings. There are two basic types, Board meetings and membership meetings (of the entire society membership). There are some variations (adjourned meeting, special meeting, Executive Session, Annual meeting, and even Committee meetings), but all of them deal with the "business" of the body that is meeting.If the society has adopted Robert's Rules as its parliamentary authority, then it applies to all meetings. Whether the members want to abide by the rules therein is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
