Guest hsiegling Posted November 7, 2019 at 12:50 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 at 12:50 PM What would the First best step be for someone who would like to be very competent in Roberts rules if not a certified parliamentarian? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Harrison Posted November 7, 2019 at 01:59 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 at 01:59 PM I'd also suggest getting a copy of RONR and reading the questions and responses in this forum looking up any citations given. For the most part that is how I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Elsman Posted November 7, 2019 at 04:30 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 at 04:30 PM Like an intern working the emergency room, using The Right Book and answering questions on this forum (providing analysis and citations) is absolutely the best way to get up to speed. But... Fear the wrath of Dan. 😟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good friend of ours offered this tidbit about the In Brief book to someone who wanted similar advice: "I expect I'm not alone in suggesting emphatically that you first get your RONR - In Brief, without delay, and read it at once. I keep saying, if you go to a store to buy it, read it standing there. Maybe move away from in front of the cashier, to allow the other customers to buy their copies. It should take you an hour or so, unless you're a college graduate -- they can take all day, tomorrow also if they have to tie their shoelaces themselves. If you're on a lunch break, you'll just have to get back a little late. If people are depending on you to feed them -- relax, they won't starve. If you're there by car, give your keys to that cashier, who will be allowed to return them to you when you're finished. If you have ordered it by mail, don't take the time to get a box-cutter to open the carton: just have at it with your fangs and claws -- you're going to chair an AGM, so you need the practice anyway." Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
