7Motions, rules, and procedures--all the problems of running a successful meeting smoothly and fairly--are covered in this special edition of a famous manual of parliamentary procedure.

A clear presentation of the complex Procedure of Motions, clarifications of many technical points, explanatory charts and diagrams have been added to the original 1893 Robert's Rules of Orders to make it especially valuable to clubs, churches, and organizations, of every type and size.

For this long-needed task, Rachel Vixman draws on half a century's experience in directing national organizations and teaching parliamentary law. Now President of the New York Metropolitan Chapter, American Institute of Parliamentarians, and Parliamentarian of the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs, she has taught and spoken all over the United States and Canada, and has presided as parliamentarian at many national and state conventions.
