Preservation Month Webinars 2: Meeting Procedures

Our second webinar in our Preservation Month Series focuses on Meeting Procedures.
May 9, 2018, 1pm – Meeting Procedures
How commissions and review boards conduct their meetings is critical to maintaining credibility and reputation. It is also critical for avoiding legal challenges. In this webinar, participants will learn to work within a legal framework of state law and local statutes and how to establish clear rules of procedure to ensure a defensible decision-making process. Beyond legal considerations, participants will learn how professionalism, courtesy, and consistency build support for the commission and its work.
Participants will gain skills to:
1) Operate a meeting consistent with state and local statutes, ordinances, and regulations which govern meetings procedures in their community
2) Conduct meetings with professionalism, consistency, and courtesy to all persons involved to maintain the reputation and credibility of their community’s preservation program
3) Adopt, adhere to, and amend as needed, rules of procedure to accomplish a clear and defensible decision-making process
4) Recognize the need for regular reevaluation of their commission’s meeting procedures
