Services
While our Associates at All About Meetings Inc. have expertise and experience in the iconic Robert’s Rules of Order, and in The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, the most widely used authorities in North America, we also provide services in other less known parliamentary authorities: Bourinot, Kerr and King, Lochrie, Demeter’s Manual and more. Just ask.
