Customized Robert's Rules Training

Fun and interactive training will empower your board!

An older woman with glasses and short gray hair, wearing a red shirt, is speaking in a video displayed on a flat screen TV. A bookshelf and a framed picture are in the background, as she conducts Robert's Rules training.

Jurassic Parliament is delighted to offer customized training in Robert’s Rules in order for your board or council to hold great meetings. We will discuss your needs, you will provide the relevant information, and Ann will prepare a lively and relevant training.

We can offer this training in person, from Ann or another member of our team, or via Zoom in a hybrid or fully remote format.

Both types of training are interactive and entertaining. The time flies by!  This is a great way to build community and have fun, while training everyone in Robert’s Rules to better serve your community. Contact us today to learn more.

Ann will customize the training for your needs. You choose the length and topics, which may include:

  • The correct authority of mayor/chair, members, and staff
  • Holding efficient, inclusive, and fair meeting discussion
  • Making and amending motions
  • Dealing with disorder or difficult people
  • The right way to control the meeting
  • Common citizen advisory pitfalls
  • Managing public comment

This service is offered for local government bodies. It is based on Ann's many years of training and advising city and county councils, school boards, utility boards, ports, and special purpose districts. Contact Ann today!

Testimonials

"Ann has singlehandedly elevated the level of civic discussion in our area."  Matt Larson, former Mayor, City of Snoqualmie, Washington

"The cities of Ilwaco and Long Beach decided to try the videoconference group training that Ann Macfarlane provides.  We had a group of 15 and had a good time following her instructive scripts and learning more about Robert’s Rules of Order.  I highly recommend Ann and all of her programs!"      David Glasson, City Administrator, Long Beach, Washington
