Robert's Rules of Order, first published in 1876, underwent a major revision in 1970 (7th edition) and name change to Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised. In their ongoing commitment to meeting changing needs and in clarifying rules, the authorship team launched the 11th edition with a list of 120 changes and clarifications from the 10th edition (http://www.robertsrules.com/changes11.html). See http://www.robertsrules.com/history.html for the dates of the 11 editions.
The workshop presenters attended the 11th edition book launching events at the National Association of Parliamentarians convention in Florida in September and will present what is new in the eleventh edition based on the national convention presentations and their own observations.
