Robert's Rules of Order Fast Track: The Brief and Easy Guide to Parliamentary Procedure for the Modern Meeting by Jim Slaughter
A concise, practical introduction to parliamentary procedure for boards, committees, and nonprofit organizations.
Written as a practical companion to Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised (12th Edition), this book addresses the procedural questions that arise when meetings move beyond the text of the rulebook. Organized in a question-and-answer format and drawn from real meeting experience, it explains disputed and misunderstood provisions of parliamentary law and how to apply them in real meetings. Used by chairs, parliamentarians, attorneys, and association leaders.

Our purpose in writing Notes and Comments on ‘Robert’s Rules,’ Fourth Edition was to provide a user’s guide to the new 716 page edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised (11th Edition). Robert’s Rules of Order has long been the standard guide to parliamentary procedure, but many readers find the manual too daunting and complex. Notes and Comments is designed to make Robert’s accessible. A show more reader-friendly question-and-answer format provides immediate solutions to problems that arise during meetings, and a simplified chart of parliamentary motions is available for quick reference.
Members of nonprofits, unions, condo and homeowner associations, student organizations, and governmental bodies can all benefit from Notes and Comments. Each section is straightforward and designed to empower participants with the confidence and knowledge necessary to navigate any meeting, large or small, with the utmost confidence. show less

My purpose in writing The Complete Idiot's Guide to Parliamentary Procedure Fast-Track was to provide an easy, accessible, to-the-point resource for conducting shorter, fairer, more orderly meetings. Unlike some larger books on procedure, this Fast-Track guide has a special focus on smaller meetings, such as governmental bodies and the boards and committees of nonprofits, condo and homeowner associations. The book show more provides details on the most used motions, appropriate informal procedures for smaller boards, preparing proper agendas, writing effective minutes, and general advice for shortening meetings. show less
