RULES OF ORDER

Rules of Order for General Meetings of the Glentana Village Recreation Centre These simple rules will help us to run good meetings for the GVRC. They are simple to understand and easy to follow. It is important to have a well-structured meeting process. Then it is up to the chair to apply the rules fairly and the voting owner representatives to treat each other with consideration and respect during the meeting. Together we can have productive and enjoyable meetings if we use these rules along with our meeting agreements. Each rule has a purpose. This guide will tell us why it is used and explain how and when to use it in a meeting. Rules of order do not apply to our meetings unless we adopt them as policy. We will hand out copies of our rules of order and meeting agreements at each meeting so that everyone can learn about meeting process and follow what is going on.
