Henry Martyn Robert

Henry Martyn Robert was an American engineer and attorney best known for creating "Robert's Rules of Order," a widely used guide for conducting formal meetings efficiently and fairly. His work provides structured procedures for discussion, decision-making, and voting, ensuring organizations operate smoothly and democratically. First published in 1876, these rules have become the standard reference for parliamentary procedure in governments, organizations, and clubs worldwide. Robert’s contributions help maintain order and fairness during meetings, allowing groups to make decisions collaboratively and transparently.
