The president or chairperson oversees the events of the meeting.

Members will introduce new topics of discussion. The correct method to make a

motion is:

i. A member who desires to make a motion and introduce an item of business

for discussion seeks recognition from the chair by stating: “Madame/Mister

President,”

ii. The individual waits until the president recognizes them and then states, “I

move to…” or “I move that…”

iii. A second must be provided by another member, indicating that there is a

desire to discuss the topic. That member simply states, “Second.”

iv. Discussion follows, and if necessary, a vote is taken.

v. The result of the vote is announced.

vi. Business is concluded.
