HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University's Division of Extended Studies is offering a
non-credit workshop on Robert's Rules of Order this month.
Offered at the Livingston Parish Literacy and Technology Center, 9261 Florida
Blvd., Walker, the workshop will be led by Judge James Kuhn and will be held on Friday,
March 22, from 8 a.m. to noon. The cost of the workshop is $57.50, but the Division
of Extended Studies is partnering with the Livingston Parish Chamber to offer the
workshop to its members at a cost of $50.
"Robert's Rules of Order govern the conduct of most meetings of clubs, associations,
large or small corporations, and public bodies," said Kuhn, a justice with the Louisiana
First Circuit Court of Appeal. "Discussions will include the techniques for members
of such organizations to express their will in a competent, straight-forward manner
so as to present the views of the members on issues and, at the same time, prevent
chaos during the meetings."
Kuhn added that voting methods, polling of votes, and the effects of abstention
of voting will be explained, as well as appropriate consideration of motions, amendments
to motions, tabling of motions, and preparation of and changing of pre-meeting agendas.
