Robert's Rules of Order Robert's- Used by governing bodies, such as homeowners associations, to keep meetings flowing smoothly and systematically. Many associations in Nevada opt to abide by Robert's Rules, newer associations may choose to make their own procedural rules for meetings, using Robert's Rules as a guideline. To determine whether a specific HOA must use Robert's Rules, it is necessary to look at its bylaws, which normally detail the rules that boards must follow when conducting meetings.
