Gavel Games


The best way to have everyone’s input in a meeting is actually quite parliamentary, well, parliamentary procedure that is. Parliamentary procedure is a way to insure that each person present has his or her say in the matter being discussed. Effective use of parliamentary procedure makes meetings run smoother. It is a democratic process, created originally for government meetings. However, the process is quite useful for all types of meetings.
