Download or read book Effective Council Meetings written by Robert K. Bush and published by ICMA Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The purpose of a public meeting is to conduct the public’s business in an effective, orderly, and efficient manner.” But in many board and council meetings, this purpose can be thwarted by the factionalism and belligerence that may arise out of opposing viewpoints. Effective Council Meetings focuses on preserving (or bringing back) the level of respect, courtesy, and civility needed in council meetings to successfully conduct the public’s business. This e-book addresses the need to adopt rules of procedure, whether formal or informal, that establish clear standards of behavior and ensure a proper level of decorum; offers a simplified and slimmed-down version of Robert’s Rules of Order, applying the salient points of parliamentary procedure to the conduct of public meetings; and introduces a values framework as a way to help elected officials identify what lies at the root of public problems and make wise decisions in response.

Download or read book Reimagining Effective Stakeholder Governance Practices in Higher Education written by Felix Omal and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of the university governing council and the changing nature of university governance using a case study from a South African university. The book considers the key challenging features of South African higher education in relation to current competing international trends in higher education governance. It shows how major decision-makers within the university operate within competing governance knowledge domains to exercise good practice within turbulent institutional contexts. These diverse institutional cultures are examined in terms of their contribution to various governance practices, presenting an emerging model of university governance known as the structural–systemic–cultural model. Throwing light on the nature of challenges associated with the governance of universities in the post-apartheid era, this book will be of interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of higher education, comparative education and education governance. Also, it will appeal to university councils and management across Africa.
