This has to be the most user-friendly book I've seen, starting with the inside of the front cover. It says, "If you only have 30 minutes" then read certain chapters.

Somehow these experts figured out what the rest of us would need to know and how we would be looking for it. Maybe they had a panel of non-experts to critique.

There are chapters detailing what the words are that you use to make something happen and how to use those words. Best of all, everywhere you look there are copious examples.

In the back are succinct tables of those same words and there is also a chapter on how to find the completely complete information on the topic in the big "Robert's" book

Most of the book is concerned with what you need to know as a member of the group. There are separate chapters for an officer of the group, which contain the things that most of us don't need to know.

This is not a book you'd save for a winter evening curled up in front of the fireplace. It's to tell you all sorts of things you'd really rather not have to know, but that you really need to know. I've already decided that mine is mine alone. Nobody is going to borrow it because it would never come back to me.

Easy to reference and very helpful in properly conducting meetings. This book would make a great addition to any board library

This is a much used book during our Association meetings and while researchiing. Very easy to find what one needs. We also bought the full edition of RRofO in case we needed more information but this In Brief edition seems to help in most instances.

The simplified and concise summary of the essential rules for meetings. This book is an easy read to understand the way meetings ought to run.

If you're purchasing the newest (11th) edition of Robert's Rules of Order, this book is a must have! Provides a quick guide to learning the basics, and includes an easy cross reference to Robert's Rules.
