Parliamentary experts differ on whether to use Robert's Rules of Order or a different set of rules for meetings. I recommend Robert's Rules for many reasons. Here are five: It’s by far the most popular and well-known set of parliamentary rules in the United States. It addresses pretty much every situation your organization might come up against. (A result of having been tested and adjusted over 150 years.) Its goals of protection of the rights of members and those whom they represent are taken care of well. The rules require a deliberative process. They protect against instability but preserve flexibility.

I recommend you follow Robert’s Rules, using the latest version: Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, 11th Edition. But I also recommend you get the current version of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised in Brief, which is in its second edition. Click on the links for my Amazon affiliate links.
