Fred and Peg Francis’s Democratic Rules of Order should be on everyone’s Xmas gift list. Our lives are so busy — wouldn’t it be grand if meetings ran more smoothly and effectively? This brilliant book captures in 32 pages the ideal rules for conducting meetings — a grand improvement over the almost indecipherable 600-page Roberts Rules of Order. When everyone can learn these basic, effective parliamentary rules, your meetings will be noticeably improved and faster. One church group found this book so effective at management meetings, they ordered 150 copies — one from every family of the congregation. Time is invaluable. A gift of time. Time flies. Back to work/play!
