“Meetings without Madness”
Nearly everyone can recall a meeting that just wouldn’t end — where members were off subject and those
in leadership positions did not take control.  It can be maddening, but it can be cured. Parliamentary
procedure helps everyone in the meeting own a bit of the control. Cindy Evans, Director with K-State
Research & Extension in Shawnee County will give tips to help both leaders and members create
effective meetings.
