Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handy and valuable parliamentary reference book fills a large informational gap for those who are preparing for and running nonprofit business meetings. An important complement to your rule book, the author simultaneously draws upon the three principal sources of parliamentary authority by including: 1. A sample of state nonprofit statutory law. 2. Selected legal case law. 3. Five of the principal parliamentary rule books. Information about the use of electronic technology, executive (closed) session, and conflicts of interest is also provided. Correct parliamentary meeting procedure is essential to the efficient and proper functioning of nonprofit organizations. Without it, an organization's goals and operation may be thwarted by inefficient and mistake-filled meetings. It is vital for nonprofits to stay informed on this subject. Parliamentary Law and Practice for Nonprofit Organizations - Third Edition is a practical and authoritative resource for professionals and volunteers who govern and participate in nonprofit organizations. The field of parliamentary procedure has seen a significant upsurge in state statutory changes and litigation. Parliamentary rule books have also been updated. This unique reference book fills a large void and will help nonprofit organizations when challenged to keep up with these developments before and during business meetings. For use by associations, foundations, condominium groups, universities, labor unions, hospitals, local governments and others with boards, it is not a procedural rule book but a very valuable addition and complement to them. And while not a substitute for the presence or advice of a professional parliamentarian or a locally licensed attorney, be sure to bring the book along before and during a meeting of members, boards, delegates, and large committees to research a variety of procedural situations. This book is also useful when studying the field of parliamentary law or drafting bylaws.

Download or read book Notes and Comments on Robert s Rules written by Jon L. Ericson and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of Jon Ericson’s Notes and Comments on Robert’s Rules updates all references and page numbers to the tenth edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, published in 2000. Ericson’s guide to the authoritative parliamentary resource clarifies many of the concepts and rules that intimidate or confuse the members of organizations who use it, stressing that they have a choice in—and may, in fact, modify—the rules by which they are bound. Ericson begins with the Order of Precedence, which he defines as the key concept in understanding and utilizing parliamentary procedure. He then uses a question-and-answer format in which a logical progression of essential parliamentary questions is explicitly answered, with a rationale for each rule. Throughout, he provides specific page references to Robert’s Rules. Through these three elements, he makes classic doctrine intelligible and workable, leading the reader step-by-step through the rules and their applications and, in the process, encouraging people to feel more positive about parliamentary procedure and their ability to use it. “Far too many members, armed—or more accurately disarmed—with a misconception of parliamentary procedure, choose to spend a lifetime wondering what is going on and lamenting or blaming others when things fail to go their way,” writes Ericson in the Introduction. “Understanding parliamentary procedure also allows a person to have more fun—not just the fun of socializing outside the business meeting—but the fun of performing in the public arena.” A popular, concise, and clear handbook, Notes and Comments on Robert’s Rules emphasizes the simple machinery of the system, relates its concepts to the procedures most commonly used in meetings and conventions, and encourages members to obtain and study, rather than shy away from Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised. This new edition also expands the number of question-and-answer sections and surveys the research in and commentary on the field since 1991. A laminated, removable card featuring simplified charts of parliamentary motions serves as an additional resource and is included with the volume.

Download or read book Cannon s Concise Guide to Rules of Order written by Hugh Cannon and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cannon's handbook on parliamentary procedure is user friendly for the inexperienced and an invaluable guide for the veteran presiding officer. His method for holding effective meetings is based not on the traditional, bewildering accumulation of particulars and exceptions, but on common sense, logic, good communication and fairness all within the bylaws and rules of any organization as well as traditional procedure. A professional parliamentarian since 1965, Hugh Cannon has guided meetings with as few as 30 and as many as 10,000 delegates. Now, with revealing and amusing anecdotes, he puts this extensive practical experience at the service of readers. His Card System,' for communication between a parliamentarian and the Chair, was first introduced in this handbook, and now is presented as a workshop topic at many national conferences for parliamentarians. The section of the handbook devoted only to rules of procedure ( A Short Course in Parliamentary Procedure ) is a mercifully brief 70 pages, compared to the hundreds of pages in traditional procedure manuals. Yet these pages cover all that will ever come up in most local, state or national meetings. In simple, contemporary language the reader is provided a thorough and complete understanding of the rules of parliamentary procedure.
Download or read book Explaining Civil Society Development written by Lester M. Salamon and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How historically rooted power dynamics have shaped the evolution of civil society globally. The civil society sector—made up of millions of nonprofit organizations, associations, charitable institutions, and the volunteers and resources they mobilize—has long been the invisible subcontinent on the landscape of contemporary society. For the past twenty years, however, scholars under the umbrella of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project have worked with statisticians to assemble the first comprehensive, empirical picture of the size, structure, financing, and role of this increasingly important part of modern life. What accounts for the enormous cross-national variations in the size and contours of the civil society sector around the world? Drawing on the project’s data, Lester M. Salamon, S. Wojciech Sokolowski, Megan A. Haddock, and their colleagues raise serious questions about the ability of the field’s currently dominant preference and sentiment theories to account for these variations in civil society development. Instead, using statistical and comparative historical materials, the authors posit a novel social origins theory that roots the variations in civil society strength and composition in the relative power of different social groupings and institutions during the transition to modernity. Drawing on the work of Barrington Moore, Dietrich Rueschemeyer, and others, Explaining Civil Society Development provides insight into the nonprofit sector’s ability to thrive and perform its distinctive roles. Combining solid data and analytical clarity, this pioneering volume offers a critically needed lens for viewing the evolution of civil society and the nonprofit sector throughout the world.
