Meeting Prep and Procedure: A Guide for In-House Counsel

Our schedules are full of meetings. Yet, we often finish those meetings without a real feeling of accomplishment or understanding of what the purpose was. Don't let that happen to you!

Whether you sit on boards or are responsible for governance matters at work, as in-house counsel, you’re often tasked with chairing and/or managing meetings. The rules may seem complicated and intimidating, but they don’t have to be. 

Join our expert, Jennifer Freund, Professional Registered Parliamentarian, for this informative 4-part series where she delves into meeting prep and procedures to help you maximize the efficiency, effectiveness and transparency of your next meeting.

Webinar #3: Motions (October 30)

For most of the meetings we’re involved in, decisions must be made. These decisions are made through motions. From simple to complex, there’s a standard process that should be followed to ensure efficiency, efficacy and transparency. But many of us struggle with the procedure once a motion requires debate and amendment. As the Chair, or trusted legal advisor, in-house counsel should understand common motions and how they’re handled. In this session, you’ll learn:

• The 13 ranking motions

• Steps in handling motions

• Managing amendments

• Improper motions
