Denise Avant was our main presenter, and Denise Brown and Suzanne Turner shared great insights about how they use Robert’s Rules to facilitate effective meetings. Other chapter leaders chimed in with excellent pointers and questions, which made the experience even richer. We did not record this meeting but hope to do it again at a chapter or affiliate meeting where it could be recorded. In the meantime, there is a book on NLS BARD entitled Robert’s Rules in Plain English, book number 53540, that may provide helpful insight into the subject for those who are looking for resources.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:11.65pt'><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p
