RULES FOR CONDUCTING A MEETING
All meetings should begin at the hour announced. If the
president or vice- president is not present, those in attendance may
appoint a chairperson and proceed with the program, or such portions
of it as they may think well, until the president or vice- president
arrives, when the acting chairperson should retire in her favour. Until
a quorum is present, business should not be transacted, although
features of the day not involving business may be proceeded with.
In the absence of the secretary, the chairperson may name
some person, approved by the meeting, to act in her place or the
meeting may be asked to elect a secretary pro- tem, in the regular
way.
When a member wishes to speak, she rises and addresses
the chair, " Madam Chair" or " Madam President". The president call
her by name, " Miss Brown", thus introducing her to the meeting and
she is then at liberty to speak. She must not do so until recognized by
the chair.
A member is not permitted to speak more than once to the
same question but may ask permission to explain something said in
her former statement.
A MOTION
Every important item of business should be brought before
the meeting in the form of a motion. A member rises and says,
" Madam President, I move..." Another member rises and says,
" Madam President, I second the motion."
