What You Should Know about Robert’s Rules:
Or, How to Make Your Meetings Meaningful

by Dr. Tim Hawkins

Whitaker Room (UH110G), University Hall

A meeting about meetings.  Seriously?  Remember, you will be expected to attend many of them this year.  You may even be asked to run some.  So, let’s try and make them as productive as possible.  If you are curious about standard meeting procedure, please join us for this review of the main elements of Robert’s Rules of Order, 12th ed., and their application at the department, college, and university levels.  Questions and concerns are welcome.  Still not sure?  Don’t forget the old saying, “They can’t have a meeting without me.”

Anyone may attend the ISU AAUP Forums. You need not be an AAUP member.
