What does a Point of Order address during a meeting?

A Point of Order is a procedural tool used during meetings to draw attention to an issue regarding the rules or order of the meeting. When a member raises a Point of Order, they are typically indicating that something has not been conducted in accordance with the established rules of the organization, such as Robert's Rules of Order or the bylaws governing the meeting. This is fundamental to ensuring that the meeting adheres to proper protocols and maintains an orderly and fair environment for all participants.

Raising a Point of Order helps to correct any procedural errors immediately, allowing the meeting to continue smoothly and ensuring that the rights of all members are upheld. By addressing procedural errors effectively, members can maintain the integrity of the meeting process.
