I just received in the mail today three of the most boring books I have ever owned in my life: Robert’s Rules of Order 10th Edition (guide to parliamentary procedure), Robert’s Rules of Order in Brief; and The Imperfect Board Member by Jim Brown.

 

Why, you ask, if they are soooooooo boring, did I order them in the first place. Well, frankly, in my role on a particular board, I really am required to have some basic understanding of this stuff. So – this is my effort to educate myself and do the due diligence as chairperson. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get through a single page without falling asleep but you never know…perhaps God will gift me with insomnia for a while.
