Running a Club Meeting

Leo leaders should be familiar with parliamentary procedures outlined in Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised (only available in English), through Club Supplies.

Club meetings should include a written agenda as well as:

• A call to order by the president
• An opening ceremony, e.g., the national anthem, salute to the flag, or other local custom
• A roll call of members and the introduction of guests
• The serving of refreshments, if any
• The introduction of speaker(s)
• The secretary's report and the reading of the minutes from the previous meeting
• The treasurer's report - a copy should be filed for audit
• The reading of minutes from the board of director's meeting
• The reading of correspondence received since the last meeting
• The reading of committee reports and approval of actions
• The discussion of old business
• The presentation of new business
• Adjournment
