A lot of “small town” America still runs on Roberts. It’s particularly good in low-trust and high-conflict meetings, where there still needs to be cohesion. School boards, religious groups, community groups, etc.
The largest parliamentary meeting in a given year is usually the Southern Baptist Convention, where up to 40,000 people use Roberts at a town hall meeting.
They’re a little heavy for a normal corporate team meeting, but those meetings usually can’t survive conflict.
- squirrel6 3y agoThis is equal parts hilarious and interesting. How did you know about this Baptist meeting? Do you have the minutes?
- Digory 3y agoIt’s a bit of denominational lore. The minutes are published every year in a book of annual proceedings. https://www.baptistpress.com/resource-library/news/1985-dallas-sbc-a-watershed-moment/ https://www.baptistpress.com/resource-library/news/1985-dall...
