Here’s how to help your student leaders have effective meetings and use correct Parliamentary Procedure –Videos & Book Show & Tell How

Dear Student Affairs Officer:

Announcing a new Student Government Package of videos that will help student groups learn meeting procedures easily and quickly by just watching these vidoes. The package includes our most popular video Parliamentary Procedure Made Simple: the Basics (80 minutes, 15,000+ sold worldwide), it teaches how to make a main motion, amend motions, refer to committee, close debate, lay the motion on the table. Includes information for committees, secretaries, presiding officers, and boards, and a model meeting. It comes with a handy instructional booklet.

How to Conduct a Meeting (32 min.) takes members step by step through an agenda. It shows and tells how to call a meeting to order, read and approve the minutes, give the treasurer's report, present committee reports, take up unfinished business, introduce new business, make a motion, discuss the motion, take the vote, and adjourn the meeting properly. The video comes with a guide for agenda planning and a generic model meeting script that your student groups can adapt and use to conduct their own meetings. They'll look like REAL PROS!

We also have Como Conducir Reuniones (45 min.), the Spanish version of How to Conduct a Meeting. This is done in original Spanish, not an overdub.

For the more advanced users of parliamentary procedure, there is All About Motions (2 vols., 140 min). This pair of videos shows and tells how to make nearly every motion in Robert's Rules of Order. It too comes with a meeting conducted from beginning to end which illustrates such difficult motions as primary and secondary amendments, "reconsider the vote", points of order, and appeal from the decision of the chair, and the procedures of an adjourned meeting. It comes with 2 handy booklets describing how to make the most common motions and how to write the minutes. The two books you'll need are: the classic reference work Robert's Rules of Order (700 pages, paperback) and the newest book out about parliamentary procedure: Robert's Rules of Order: Simplified & Applied (1998, 400 p.) which is a condensed, simplified, readable explanation of the principles found in the classic reference book-- many student governments order a copy for each member of their council.

Finally, we offer a video to help your organization nominate and elect officers according to correct procedures, Nominations and Elections (2000, 65min) including an instructional booklet. The video shows the six ways to nominate candidates and the several ways to elect them to office. The video explains handing out, collecting and counting ballots properly. Following this video will prevent election mistakes.
