I purchased copies of this for our Property Owner's Association as we are required to follow these rules. As a volunteer group many persons were unfamiliar with this system.Robert's Rules is rather complicated for smaller associations as it was created for corporations so much does not apply to us, but this version gives us a easier way to apply it to our system for board members.I was pleased that we have not had to wade through the entire original book to apply the correct operational system to our group meetings.With all that said it is still rather involved but doable.
