Some Fun with Parliamentary Procedure

I bet you think “Fun with Parliamentary Procedure” is an oxymoron! Maybe it is, however, Duvall CAMS hosted a seminar last night for board members on parliamentary procedure and it was pretty enjoyable! Jim Slaughter, Parliamentarian and Professional Presider of Rossabi Black Slaughter, PA, Attorneys At Law, spent the evening explaining the ins and outs of Robert’s Rules of Order and how they apply to condo and homeowner associations. 

Mr. Slaughter taught us about the order of business, writing minutes, handling motions and planning effective meetings. Managers and board members found his tips very helpful and plan to implement some time saving strategies. Who doesn’t want to save time at board and homeowner meetings? Tasty refreshments and a breath taking view from the 8th floor of The VUE Charlotte were other perks to the evening in addition to Mr. Slaughter’s playful personality.

Thank you for all who attended and we hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did. If you’d like to attend a future seminar, please leave a comment below. We plan to host an event on a different association-related topic every couple of months.
