4.     The foreword to the Rules of Procedure for the Meeting of the Board of Directors, adopted by the Board of Directors in 2002, states:

 

“It is essential to any governing body engaged in legislative, decision-making, debate that it do so in a manner that is clearly consistent, truly democratic, and subject to rules that provide for fair and equitable expression of opinion and impartial administration.  The Rules of Procedure contained herein are provided for the just and due deliberations of the Board of Directors of ARMA International, and shall hold precedence over all others excepting that wherein such provision is not made, default shall occur to Roberts Rules of Order.”
