Parliamentary Exercises
The drills of Henry M. Robert
edited by Kirk Overbey
Originally published in 1921 as part of the book "Parliamentary Practice,"
the seven drills have been updated.
Take advantage of the work of the master himself and learn how to preside effectively
with all the motions. Practice these drills and you will be confident and prepared.
Excellent for use with youth competition preparation (FBLA, BPA, SkillsUSA, FCCLA, HOSA)
