Good morning,

For all my peers that deal with Boards of Directors, I learned last week that in Canada we should be using Bourinot's Rules of Order, instead of Robert's Rules, which I have been following.

Does anyone have any experience with Bourinot's?

Thanks for any information you can supply.

Could you explain where you learned that you should be using Bourinot's Rules of Order?   I had never heard of them before.

Hi Betsy,

I was in an Governance meeting and the discussion ensued about this.  Supposedly it is what the Military uses and has used for years.  The person in the military had never heard of Robert's Rules of Order.
