Master Robert's Rules at Your Own Pace
Transform your board or council and lead with confidence.
Our courses will teach you how to use the principles of Robert’s Rules to hold effective and efficient meetings — avoiding the unnecessary (but not uncommon) drama that often arises when multiple personalities and conflicting goals are at play. All on your own time.
Robert’s Rules of Order is an excellent guide for improving your meetings.
But let’s be clear, it is a dry and boring reference manual originally written in 1876. It is not a textbook.
We’ve developed these courses with this in mind. We’ve taken all of the useful concepts from the work and interpreted it through a modern lens, making it much easier for you to understand and apply.
I am loving this class I am taking! My need to run the meetings efficiently and effectively requires more than a modicum of proficiency.

Ann Macfarlane has helped me to a deeper understanding that Robert's Rules are intended to help determine the will of groups and give them tools to take action, not thwart them.
