Robert's Rules of Order

The general rules of parliamentary procedure set forth in the latest edition of Robert's Rules

There are four Basic Types of Motions: 1.

Main Motions: The purpose of amain motion is to introduce items to the membership for their consideration. Main motions cannot be made when any other motion is on the floor, and they yield to privileged, subsidiary, and incidental motions. Subsidiary Motions: Their purpose is to change or affect how a main motion is handled and are voted on before a main motion. Privileged Motions: Their purpose is to bring up items that are urgent about special or important matters unrelated to pending business. Incidental Motions: Their purpose is to provide a means of questioningprocedure concerning other motions and must be considered before the other motion.

of Order shall govern the conduct of Convention except if there are other procedures provided by the Diocesan Constitution or Canons.

The following is fromrobertsrules.org:

2.

What Is Parliamentary Procedure? It is a set of rules for conduct at meetings, that allows everyone to be heard and to make decisions without confusion. Why is Parliamentary Procedure Important? Because it's a time-tested method of conducting business at meetings and public gatherings. It can be adapted to fit the needs of any organization. Today, Robert's Rules of Order newly revised is the basic handbook of operation for most clubs, organizations and other groups. So, it's important that everyone know these basic rules! Organizations using parliamentary procedure usually follow a fixed order of business. Below is a typical example: 1. Call to order. 2. Roll call of members present. 3. Reading of minutes of lastmeeting. 4. Officers reports. 5. Committee reports. 6. Special orders --- Important business previously designated for consideration at this meeting. 7. Unfinished business. 8. New business. 9. Announcements. 10. Adjournment. The method used by members to express themselves is in the form of moving motions. A motion is a proposal that the entire membership take action or a stand on an issue. Individual members can: 1. Call to order. 2. Second motions. 3. Debate motions. 4. Vote on motions.

3.

4.

How are Motions Presented? 1. Obtaining the floor a.

Wait until the last speaker has finished. Rise and address the Chairman by saying, "Mr. Chairman, or Mr. President."

b.

c.

Wait until the Chairman recognizes you.

2.

Make YourMotion a.

Speak in a clear andconcise manner. Always state a motion affirmatively. Say, "I move that we ..." rather than, "I move that we do not…." Avoid personalities and stay on your subject.

b.

c.

3. 4.

Wait for Someone to Second YourMotion Another member will second your motion or the Chairman will call for a second. If there is no second to your motion it is lost.

5.

6.

The Chairman States YourMotion a.

The Chairman will say, "it has been moved and seconded that we ..." Thus placing yourmotion

6

Robert's Rules of Order (continued)

before the membership for consideration and action.

This method is used when a record of each person's vote is required. By General Consent -- When a motionis not likely to be opposed, the Chairman says, "if there is no objection …." The membership shows agreement by their silence; however, if one member says, "I object," the item must be put to avote. By Division -- This is a slight variation of a voice vote. It does not require a count unless the chairman so desires. Members raise their hands or stand. By Ballot -- Members write their vote on a slip of paper. This method is used when secrecy is desired. There are two other motions that are commonly used that relate to voting. 1. Motion to Table -- This motion is often used in the attempt to "kill" a motion.The 3. 4. 5.

b.

The membership then either debates your motion or may move directly to a vote. Once your motion is presented to the membership by the chairman it becomes "assembly property," and cannot be changed by you without the consent of the members. The time for you to speak in favor of your motion is at this point in time, rather than at the time you present it. The mover is always allowed to speak first. All comments and debate must be directed to the chairman. Keep to the time limit for speaking that has been established. The mover may speak again only after other speakers are finished, unless called upon by the Chairman.

c.

7.

Expanding on YourMotion a.

b.

c.

option is always present, however, to "take from the table," for reconsideration by the membership. Motion to Postpone Indefinitely -- This is often used as a means of parliamentary strategy and allows opponents of a motion to test their strength without an actual vote being taken. Also, debate is once again open on the mainmotion.

d.

e.

2.

8.

Putting the Question to theMembership a. The Chairman asks, "Are you ready to vote on thequestion?"

Parliamentary Procedure is the best way to get things done at your meetings. But it will only work if you use it properly. 1. Allow motions that are in order. 2. Have members obtain the floor properly. 3. Speak clearly and concisely. 4. Obey the rules of debate. Most importantly, BE COURTEOUS .

b.

If there is no more discussion, a vote is taken.

c.

On a motion to move, the previous question may be adapted.

Voting on a Motion: The method of vote on any motion depends on the situation and the by-laws or policy of your organization. There are five methods used to vote by most organizations, they are: 1. By Voice -- The Chairman asks those in favor to say, "aye," those opposed to say "no." Any member may move for an exact count.

2.

By Roll Call -- Each member answers "yes" or "no" as his or her name iscalled.

99th Annual Convention

2018 CONVENTION NOMINEE PROFILES Delegates will elect new members to positions of diocesan leadership. All nominees were invited to provide a digital photo and to respond to the following question: In 50 words or less: If elected, I would bring the following strengths to this position:

Disciplinary Board, Clergy Member

Rev. Russell Hatfield , Non-Parochial I was ordained almost 20 years ago and have served the Tazewell Cluster all that time. I

taught school for 35 years before finally answering God's call. With my teaching experience, dealing with young people as well as parents and other adults, and my church work I have seen it all, and I have learned to look beyond the obvious to get to the root of situations. Being fair, compassionate, and diligent is important in dealing with any and all situations.

Rev. John Lane , Non-Parochial A genuine elder: 45 years experience: 3 parishes, 3 dioceses, national church; empathy.

Rev. Emily Edmondson , Christ Church, Marion My strengths lie in my ability and willingness to listen to God and my brothers and sisters in Christ. I am dependable and make every effort to show for meetings. I can make a decision and stand by it. Bravery is what is given to us and what is often needed as followers of Christ. I am a follower of Christ but also a leader for Him as well.

Diocese of Southwestern Virginia

13

99th Annual Convention

Rev. Boyd Evans , St. Thomas, Abingdon Part of my calling is to bring healing and reconciliation to difficult conflict situations. I exercised this ministry several times prior to ordination. I believe that I am capable of hearing the issues which may come before this committee in an unbiased manner and help to derive fair, pastoral solutions. I also share a passion for ensuring that all of God's people and all of God's children have a safe place to worship, learn, and serve.

Rev. David Elphee , Non-Parochial I have worked in four dioceses since ordination in a ministry spanning fifty two years. I have been known as a thoughtful and compassionate priest, with a burden for the underdog.

Rev. Birch Rambo , St. John’s, Wythevi"e I served on the Disciplinary Board of the Diocese of Spokane and the Province VIII Court of Review and I know the canons well. I have also received discipline (not under Title IV). I understand how violations happen and I know the harm and hurt they cause the church.

Rev.Willis Logan , St. Mark's, Fincastle

My diverse work experience and pastoral heart would be my strengths. I owned and operated a few different businesses and have been involved in multiple non-profits as well as serving in a variety of Churches.

Diocese of Southwestern Virginia

14

99th Annual Convention

Rev.Whitney Burton , St. John’s, Roanoke Because I have never served on the Disciplinary board before, I would bring a fresh voice and outlook to this board, likely serving with seasoned leaders. I am passionate about protecting those who need it most, and working toward ending violence to God's people and working toward Justice.

Rev. Kent Tarpley , Non-Parochial I love the Episcopal Church, and have been a lifelong member. I have been privileged to serve as a parish priest and rector of 4 parishes over a 32 year span. I also have a social work master's degree and experience in individual and family therapy. I have certificates in spiritual direction and in church development. Even though retired, I feel a responsibility to continue to serve God thru the Church and am serving Christ Church, Pulaski as their regular supply priest.

Disciplinary Board, Lay Member

David Bice , St John’s, Lynchburg As a member of the Episcopal church, I have served in a number of capacities; whether on Vestry, as a warden (senior and junior), mission outreach, kitchen cook or teaching middle school youth. I have practiced law for 33 years primarily in family law, as a mediator, litigator (trial attorney), and in the collaborative resolution process and have served on a number of panels with the Virginia Supreme Court to train members of the judiciary, write or revise legislation, and currently lecture to both attorneys in Virginia and nationwide. It is with this experience and insight that I may serve the diocese effectively in conflict resolution or otherwise.

Diocese of Southwestern Virginia

15

99th Annual Convention

Robin Benke , A" Saints, Norton In over 35 years of academic experience I have served on many committees involving arbitration and advocacy. I am committed to working for fair representation of all constituents. Presently, I am Director of Library Services and Associate Professor at UVA-Wise.

Richard Robinson , Good Shepherd, Blue Grass I am a licensed veterinarian of 45 years. In my professional career I have sometimes had to make decisions which were not always pleasant. I have served on various civic and governmental boards. I am now retired and can give freely of my time.

Standing Committee, Clergy Member

Rev. Deborah Hunley , St. Elizabeth's, Roanoke Experience: 2 previous terms on Standing Committee, including president History: 40 years of service as a diocesan priest, familiar with our context, parishes, clergy, and lay leaders Appreciation: for our bishop and his vision, and for the gifts and wisdom of others within our diocese and beyond Grounded: spiritually, in good humor, and with a sense of perspective

Rev. SarahMorris , Christ Church

I served on the Standing Committee in the Diocese of Georgia as a lay person and I have served on the Executive Board of this Diocese as a member of the clergy.

Diocese of Southwestern Virginia

16

99th Annual Convention

Rev. Kimberly Glenn , St. John's, Lynchburg I have observed and participated in the ordination process in a different Diocese, the Diocese of Virginia, both on discernment committees and as a candidate. I'm also practiced in conflict resolution and have experience as a professional realtor.

Rev. Helen Beasley , Good Shepherd, Blue Grass 1. Intense interest in how the diocese works locally, works in relationship to the U.S. Episcopal Communion, and works in relation to the Anglican World Communion. 2. Former experience as a Standing Committee member. 3. An ability to articulate the finer points of issues arising out of committee work. 4. An ability to speak to nuances having to do with theology, spirituality, and church organization arising out of committee work. 5. A life time in the clergy, as a clergy child, a clergy wife, and a clergy member. 6. A clergy person ordained for 25 years with extensive experience running and servicing churches in two dioceses and creating programs of outreach that bring the diocese closer to those who need its help. 7. One who cares deeply for the marginalized and the suffering and is therefore committed to participation on diocese committees whose work on one level or another also participates in this

Standing Committee, Lay Member

Carey Harveycutter , St Paul’s Salem I have been involved in the life of the Diocese for many years. I was co-chair if the 75th anniversary celebration, serve presently on the disciplinary board, and served two terms on the Standing committee, one with Bishop Powell and one with Bishop Bourlakus. I am always willing to offer a differing opinion when warranted in delicate discussions.

Diocese of Southwestern Virginia

17

99th Annual Convention

JimAckley , St Paul’s Lynchburg As a life-long member of St. Paul's-Lynchburg, where I’ve served in many lay leadership capacities, as well as a former President of the Lynchburg Convocation, nine-year member of the Diocesan Executive Board, and a member of the Diocese’s most recent Bishop Search Committee, I am very aware of the Diocese and its goals for the future, and feel well-prepared to assist the Bishop in developing and implementing a plan to reach those goals.

Bob Miller , Christ Church, Blacksburg I have served the diocese as a member of the Executive Board for three terms, was chair of the Trustees of the Funds, am a member of the Commission on Ministry, was a member of the nominating committee for the fifth and sixth bishops, and serve on the board of Phoebe Needles. I am a former vestry member and a trustee of our parish. This summer I will serve as a Deputy to General Convention for my fifth time. I feel I work collaboratively and efficiently in various groups, and want to continue in service to our Diocese.

Henry H. Brant , Christ Church, Marion Having been a small business owner, I feel I can bring a business insight to the operation of the Diocese as well as a different perspective towards selection of candidates for ordination and clergy discipline.

Holt Merchant , Grace Church, Lexington I have participated in Grace Church, Lexington as usher, lay reader, member of the Vestry, director of an adult Sunday school class, and a member of Education for Ministry. I am a retired member of the faculty of Washington and Lee University. During my career, I was for nine years Marshal of the University and for ten years chair of the Department of History which gave me experience in organization and administration.

Diocese of Southwestern Virginia

99th Annual Convention

RyanWalker , St. John’s, Wythevi"e

I am a good listener who enjoys learning, taking in information, and finding common ground to solve problems in a way that is positive for all those involved. My work at church as youth coordinator, vestry member, and serving on the worship and education committees have given me a broad background in church related matters. In my professional life I am a school teacher/ administrator which requires me to use these skills to solve problems and work with people in a variety of ways. Personally, I am called to serve the church through participation in worship services and providing leadership to connect generational divides within the church community.
