Board adds Robert's Rules appendix to operating procedures; trustee credited for drafting
Summary
The operating procedures now include an appendix with Robert's Rules of Order for clarity; trustees credited Denisha Williams for drafting the guidance and noted a simplified 'cheat sheet' for smaller boards will be used.
The board adopted an appendix to the operating procedures incorporating Robert's Rules of Order and a condensed 'cheat sheet' for boards with fewer than 12 members.
The Board President credited Trustee Denisha Williams for drafting the language: "Trusy Denisha Williams, you did an excellent job on writing that for us," the president said during discussion. Trustees noted the appendix aims to make procedural expectations clearer and easier to follow during meetings.
The appendix will be included in the back of the operating procedures document and used as a reference; trustees also noted a condensed version or 'cheat sheet' will be made available for quick reference during meetings.
