General Robert, as in Robert's Rules of Order, in 1893 stated,

"It is the duty of the chair, and his function, to preserve order and to take care that the proceedings are conducted in a proper manner, and that the sense of the meeting is properly ascertained with regard to any question which is properly before the meeting"

Timely information for board chairs and those under their authority. Included are the chair's four greatest challenges regarding board member behavior and attitudes; ten necessary skills for an effective chair; checklists of crucial tasks to handle for before, during and after meetings; and a summary of key motions in Robert's Rules of Order needed to run a meeting. Critical information for the most challenging position on the Board of Directors.
