Roberts' Rules of Order

Roberts’ Rules of Order are a set of agreed-upon procedures that help groups run meetings smoothly and fairly. They provide a clear process for making decisions, discussing issues, and ensuring everyone has a chance to be heard. Key principles include respecting the chair’s guidance, following a structured order of business, and using motions to propose actions. This system promotes organization, fairness, and efficiency, especially in formal or large group settings, ensuring that meetings are productive and that decisions are made democratically and transparently.
