Lead with Confidence: Master Robert's Rules at Your Own Pace
Transform your board or council with our self-paced courses. They will help you understand the important principles of Robert's Rules that make your meetings more efficient and successful.
Just like our workshops, these self-paced courses for Robert’s Rules focus on the primary practices that elected officials and board members can use to hold effective and efficient meetings, while limiting the drama that comes when a variety of personalities and conflicting goals come together.
Robert’s Rules of Order is an excellent guide for improving your meetings. However, it is a dry and boring reference manual originally written in 1876, it is not a textbook. Through this coursework, transform your understanding of Robert's Rules of Order and all that it can do for you and your organization.
I am loving this class I am taking! My need to run the meetings efficiently and effectively requires more than a modicum of proficiency.

Your website is an answer to my prayers! I was fretting to attend my board meeting because I'm a newbie to all the procedures! However, much of the questions and ambiguity of the process was cleared after reading few pertinent articles from your website! My trepidation and doubt were replaced with confidence and understanding! I was able to go to my board meeting calm and ready to meet! Thank you so much for providing the right resources at the right time!
