Sims reassured delegates that while the formal procedures, known as Robert's Rules of Order, may seem daunting, they are essential for maintaining order and respect during discussions. He encouraged newcomers to familiarize themselves with these rules, suggesting resources available on the party's website and even a budget-friendly book option for those eager to learn.
A major focus of the training will be on the importance of respectful dialogue. Sims stressed that every delegate deserves the opportunity to voice their opinions, and he cautioned against rushing to end debates, as this could silence valuable contributions. He emphasized the need for delegates to remain committed to the party's business, even as the convention wraps up a busy six-week period.
For those unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances, Sims provided guidance on handling absences. He advised delegates to communicate with their precinct chairs and consider appointing an alternate to ensure their precinct is represented.
As the convention approaches, the emphasis on preparation and respectful engagement reflects the party's commitment to fostering a collaborative environment where every delegate can contribute to the decision-making process. This training is not just about rules; it’s about empowering community members to actively participate in shaping the future of their party.
