Read an Excerpt

« [U]ne version moderne et agile de procédures qui [… ] sert très bien toutes les associations qui l’ont utilisé. 

[J]’ai la profonde conviction que des organisations anglophones utilisant jusqu’ici ici une version ou une autre du Robert’s Rules of Order, un guide américain du XIXe siècle (inspiré à la fois du congrès américain et du fonctionnement militaire), pourraient bénéficier d’un guide mieux adapté à la réalité d’aujourd’hui et à notre pays, où les traditions britanniques et françaises cohabitent dans nos organisations.
