Contributed by: DR. SEAN REIF D.C. on 2/12/2008

Every member has the right that may never be restricted and that is the right to hold an opinion. An opinion must never be ridiculed by word or action. Each members' opinion must be respected and afford the courtesy of a hearing.

Members have equal rights and privileges with respect to meetings. Right to advance notice, to attend meetings, to speak in debate, to make motions, to vote, to make nominations, and to run for office. Any restrictions apply to all members.

Members are entitled to an organized efficient meeting. Members have the right to an agenda and to see that agenda followed; members must adhere to the subject of the debate, time limits may be put on debate, debate may be closed, and motions may be set in order of precedence. All these rules make for efficient meetings. Debate may be extended to enhance effectiveness, even at the expense of efficiency.

A presiding officer (Chairman) who is to make a motion or speak in debate must vacate the position and participate as a regular member of the meeting so says Robert's Rules of Order.

Rated Story

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who actually is in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, who knows the great enthusiasms and great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause, who at best knows triumph of high achievement; and WORST, if he fails, FAILS while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know NEITHER - VICTORY nor DEFEAT.
