OUR NAME IS OUR MISSION
A Great Meeting, Inc. was founded on the assumption that people get involved because they want to make a difference. Key to making that difference is the ability to participate effectively, which requires a basic understanding of group dynamics and the rules governing the process of effective group decision-making.
A great meeting happens when every participant has an equal opportunity to influence the outcome. The atmosphere must be cordial, yet allow for differing viewpoints. The participants must understand the purpose of the meeting and must be committed to making decisions in the best interest of the group as a whole. Decisions made in that kind of atmosphere are more likely to be lasting decisions, accepted by everyone.
Whether the group follows Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, the AIP Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure (formerly Sturgis), Ray Keesey’s Modern Parliamentary Procedure, Cannon’s Concise Guide to Parliamentary Procedure, or any other book of procedural rules, the fundamental goal is clarity and fairness.
We are committed to providing the services and materials you need to make sure your next meeting is A Great Meeting!
