Description
How to Run Committees and Meetings is for the ordinary citizen who finds himself or herself involved in a pressure group, school governing body, tenants' committee, union, voluntary association, political group or committee in their community, work or leisure. It is a practical 'do-it-yourself" guide to running committees and meetings and making them work for you. The author shows how constitutional procedures can be used and abused to win political advantage. He offers guidance on being chair, secretary or treasurer of a committee and suggests ways in which ordinary members can get themselves heard. The book summarises the theoretical justifications for setting up committees and meetings and points out the principal legal constraints under which they operate.
At some stages in our lives most of us have to attend committees and meetings. Michael Locke shows how these weird processes of democracy can be turned to good effect.
