Participating in a Meeting (Pathway Bundle)

You need to decide on a proposal in a meeting; so what do you do? Parliamentary procedure provides the procedural tools to frame the issue, discuss it properly, modify it as necessary, and produce a decision promptly. In this series of courses, you will learn the basics of motions that can be used to make decisions in a meeting. Next, you’ll learn ways to modify the consideration — and even members' behaviors — to make decisions efficiently. You will be introduced to dilatory, improper, assumed motions and their renewal. Using motions in meetings allows you to make the best group decisions on issues:— correctly. exactly the way you want, with the correct wording, at the proper time, and efficiently. These courses have been developed as an online offering derived from the first AIP Correspondence Course on Participating in a Meeting. Rather than sitting and reading or listening to an e-Learning course in a single pass, we structured this online experience to compliment and enhance the readings on each topic. Each course contains assigned readings from the required textbooks, an interactive lesson, and a quiz to assess your knowledge. All of the quiz questions have answers provided when you take each lesson's quiz. You can take these courses at your own speed and return to each as many times as you would like. The average time to complete each course is one week. All courses will be available to you for a period of two years. We hope you will find this course both interesting and useful. The following books are required to complete these courses: - Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, 12th edition - American Institute of Parliamentarians Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure Please visit the AIP Bookstore using the link in the navigation menu above.
