About Ann Macfarlane
Like many of you, I learned about Robert’s Rules of Order by accident. In 1999 I became president of the American Translators Association. I picked up the book and was horrified by how long and complicated it was. I wanted to give up, but our bylaws said, “Meetings shall be run according to Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised Latest Edition.” So I kept on reading and studying as I attended board meetings.
Eventually I realized that there is a core to Robert’s Rules of Order that is critical to good meetings. In my opinion, anyone who masters the key principles and guidelines can run great meetings—meetings that are fair, efficient, and democratic. Those principles are not hard to learn, they’re just different. That core is what we offer you here in Jurassic Parliament.
I’ve loved volunteering and governance all my life. They are an essential part of what makes America great. When you volunteer on a nonprofit board, serve as an elected official, or volunteer for your community, your service is an important gift to your neighbors and to our society. It is an honor to assist you in that endeavor.
