Whether you are a manager in business or a busy volunteer, most of us spend a lot of time in meetings. Corporate executives spend up to 75% of their time in meetings. Unfortunately, many of those meetings are an unproductive waste of time because of the incorrect or sloppy use of parliamentary procedure. Knowing the right way to use parliamentary procedure will help make the most of those meetings whether you are the presiding officer or a participating member.

Topics covered:

• Learn the right way to make, second, and present a motion.
• Understand the difference between main motions and subsidiary motions and their priorities.
• Gain a working knowledge of the various subsidiary motions and how to use them.
• Find out how to keep the agenda moving by using the right motions at the right time.
