  1. Who is Robert and why do we listen to his stinkin’ rules?? By Sarah Neeck, Rachael Anderson, and Joe Ramstad

  2. Welcome! • We would like to welcome you to the first meeting of the year, and what is going to be a great year for you and our chapter! • So what exactly is the FFA? • How will it impact me?

  3. The top 5 questions a new member is most likely thinking about… • 5. I see a lot of people talking at meetings – can I participate? • 4. What if I cannot come to a meeting? • 3. What are some things the chapter does each year? • 2. Is FFA only for farmers? • 1. Is FFA fun?

  4. What is Parli Pro? • Parli Pro (Parliamentary Procedures) is the technical term for how our chapter runs meetings. • Parli Pro reduces stress and allows all members’ voices to be heard at each meeting. • By learning it through your agriculture class and through the FFA, you will gain a valuable life skill! • Many government meetings are ran using parliamentary procedures.

  5. Who is Robert? • Robert is the person who created the laws of parliamentary procedures. • His rules are important because they allow for order during the meeting and it allows it to run more smoothly.

  6. What are his stinkin’ rules? • There are too many to list! • He has rules including: • How to motion a thought or idea. • How to amend a motion or an amendment. • How to lay a motion on the table. • How to vote on a motion. • And a lot more! • Every month, you will see a brief demonstration of a new rule or group of rules! Hopefully, by our last meeting, you will know a lot more than you do now!

  7. Questions? • Does anybody have any questions before we do the “motion of the month?”

  8. September Motion of the Month • Today’s roles and parts: • Rachael Anderson will play the role of the president. • Joe Ramstad will play the role of the ordinary member. • Sarah Neeck will play the role of another ordinary member.

  9. How to Make a Motion - Step 1 • Rachael: What is your pleasure? • Joe: Madam President? • Rachael: Yes, Joe. • Rachael first opened for a discussion by saying “what is your pleasure?” • Joe then stood up, and recognized the president/chair of the meeting.

  10. How to Make a Motion – Step 2 • Joe: I move to buy Amber a pony after the meeting. • Joe, continuing to stand, suggested that he buy Amber a pony after the meeting.

  11. How to Make a Motion - Step 3 • Rachael: Is there a second? • Sarah: SECOND! • Rachael asked if there was a second to the motion. A second is when someone agrees with the motion and wants to discuss it. • Sarah, boldly, seconded that motion because she believes that Joe should buy Amber a pony after the meeting. • Don’t second something if you don’t want to discuss it. • If a motion does not get a second, it will be killed.

  12. How to Make a Motion - Step 4 • Rachael: The motion has been properly moved and seconded to buy Amber a pony after the meeting. Is there any debate? • Joe: Madam President? • Rachael: Yes, Joe. • Joe: I think that I should buy Amber a pony because she enjoys being around ponies and she is good at taking care of animals. • Rachael asked if there was any debate from a member. • Joe stood up and recognized the president/chair and debated. The person who originally made the motion must debate it first!

  13. How to Make a Motion - Step 5 • Rachael: Is there any more debate? Seeing none we shall proceed to vote. All those in favor of Joe buying Amber a pony after the meeting signify by saying “I.” • Joe and Sarah: “I” • Rachael: All who oppose say “Nay.” The motion passed. • Rachael asked if there was any more debate, and there wasn’t any. She then called for a final vote, and Sarah and Joe both voted yes to the vote, therefore it passed.

  14. Questions? • Does anybody have any questions before we do the next portion of our meeting?
