How To Make A Motion At A Meeting

To make a motion at a meeting, you should raise your hand respectfully and wait for the President to call on you. When she does, you should clearly state your motion (or request) and wait for a response.

According to protocol, this is the proper way to make a motion at a meeting. First you say, I move to do whatever it is you want to accomplish. Then you wait for someone to second your motion. After that the chairman accepts the motion as having been moved and seconded. For more information look here: Robert's Rules of OrderOnline for Correct Meeting Protocol www.robertsrules.org...;
