Chris Harrison Posted June 29, 2018 at 07:56 PM Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 at 07:56 PM (edited) See RONR p. 588 for sample language: Quote The rules contained in the current edition of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised shall govern the Society in all cases to which they are applicable and in which they are not inconsistent with these bylaws and any special rules of order the Society may adopt.
