What Clients are Saying about Kirby Glad<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My experience with Kirby Glad as parliamentarian for the first large meeting I chaired was fantastic! Kirby reached out prior to the meeting with multiple videos, suggestions, and a handful of phone calls to ensure my confidence in the process. I am very grateful to him for his organization and expertise. I highly recommend Kirby Glad as a parliamentarian! Kirby’s knowledge and calm demeanor are reassuring during large meetings. Ten out of ten!<\/p>\n
Cristy Henshaw, <\/strong> Thanks for serving as parliamentarian for our annual conference.\u00a0 We were very impressed with your level of preparation in becoming familiar with our own bylaws and special rules.\u00a0 During our conference, you quickly demonstrated keen knowledge of the nuances of our special rules. \u00a0As a result, I had great confidence in your advice.\u00a0 Thanks for making me feel so comfortable. \u00a0We would gladly recommend you to any organization needing a professional parliamentarian.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ben Valdepe\u00f1a, Association President <\/p>\n I can\u2019t tell you enough how valuable you were in our meeting tonight.\u00a0 You did a masterful job of helping me conduct our HOA meeting.\u00a0 Without your proficiency and understanding of Robert\u2019s Rules of Order our meeting would have drifted into dangerous waters.\u00a0 From your subtle persuasions to your outright directions you kept us on track, even covering the little details I hadn\u2019t considered.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bob Borden. President <\/p>\n Kirby has been a gift to our annual assembly for the past 3 years. He accompanies us through the planning process to make sure our agenda is on track with what we are hoping to accomplish, offering feedback along the way. His presence at our meeting allows our leaders to be fully present in the content, without being distracted by wondering if they were following all the proper protocols. He participated fully in the event, even when it meant joining [with the chair] in the silly camp songs! We have already booked him for our 2018 Assembly!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Deacon Erin Power <\/p>\n Kirby Glad has offered excellent parliamentary guidance and advice during my term of my office as chair. I was a first term chair and he helped guide me through the process, making special care to keep me in step with our bylaws and constitution. He was quick to respond and would carefully help me to understand what needed to be done. I especially appreciated his professional parliamentary guidance during some high stress meetings where he could instantly answer questions so I could successfully chair our meetings. The DCRP chooses Kirby Glad as our parliamentarian!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Teena Horlacher <\/p>\n Kirby Glad has been the parliamentarian for the Rocky Mountain Synod annual Assembly for the past four years. Kirby is very knowledgeable about parliamentary procedure and always helps those of us in leadership positions to ” look good” while conducting our business.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Earline\u00a0Bohling <\/p>\n <\/p>\n What I witnessed serving with you as the chair of the meeting was a mutual respect between you and the members.\u00a0 \u2026 the\u00a0 members \u2026 were craving respect and a well-run meeting and, you sir, gave them that.\u00a0 In addition to being completely professional, knowledgeable, managerial, and fair. \u00a0I agree with the others who said it was the best run meeting they’d ever been to.\u00a0 In my 26 years, \u00a0it was mine, \u00a0too. \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lisa Shepherd <\/p>\n Mr. Glad was hired by our HOA to help officiate our Annual Meeting.\u00a0 He helped us understand what would be needed to execute our annual meeting. Mr. Glad chaired our meeting with professionalism and confidence. His expertise was greatly appreciated and highly valued, so much so that we plan to ask Mr. Glad to lead our next annual meeting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lennia Machen Thank you for your expert service in chairing out member meeting.\u00a0 You have a fair and comfortable style that put all the members at ease, even though there were lots of emotions on the topics being discussed.\u00a0 Because of your knowledge of the rules, and your ability to explain them to the membership, I’m sure we were able to finish the meeting one or two hours faster!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jac Knoop <\/p>\n We brought Kirby Glad in to chair a board meeting because we were in need of someone neutral, someone who knew Robert\u2019s Rules of Order and someone who could explain those rules to us. Throughout the meeting I was impressed with Kirby\u2019s level of preparation and his knowledge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The result? After more than a year of infighting and board meetings that seemed to only deepen existing rifts, Kirby Glad made the difference. He facilitated the board moving forward in a peaceful way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If your board or your organization is \u201cstuck\u201d – Kirby\u2019s masterful skillset can get you back on course.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rachel Coleman <\/p>\n Our club is very unique and has certain challenges some may find difficult to control or eliminate. Kirby came in to chair our member meeting and solved a lot of the rough patches faced by our Club. \u00a0Would I recommend him to other struggling clubs? Absolutely! He went above and beyond his call of duty in helping us maintain some semblance of peace and taught us many things about meeting management, club bylaws, and Robert\u2019s Rules of Order<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Clark Guadette <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a practicing attorney in criminal, civil, administrative, and constitutional law, I appreciate the value of expert advice in something we never covered in law school, \u00a0the specialized practice of \u201cparliamentary law\u201d.\u00a0 As chair of our organization\u2019s bylaws committee we undertook a project to completely reorganize, clarify, and improve our bylaws. \u00a0We hired Kirby Glad as a parliamentarian to advise and guide our work. \u00a0Kirby\u2019s contribution was exceptional and extremely valuable and saved us dozens of hours of committee work because of the experience, knowledge, and clear writing which he brought to the process.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Christopher F.

He can help organizations avoid a lot of headache.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bruce Anderson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Former Weber County Republican Bylaw Committee Chair<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the chair of the bylaws committee for our association, and as a member of the board of directors of that association, I have found Kirby\u2019s assistance and guidance to be most valuable. \u00a0He has recommended bylaws that are very helpful to our organization, and is able to transform our ideas and requests into clear and concise bylaw language.
