Ted Weisgal is the co-founder of Leisure Learning Unlimited, a for-profit leisure education company. Since founding LLU in 1979, Ted has taught for LLU a class in the basics of Robert's Rules of Order to a wide range of students, including members of the Houston City Council, to the Houston and Pearland (Texas) Independent School Districts' Board, and to student governments at the University of Houston-Downtown and Texas Southern University, to the Student Bar Association at Texas Southern University's Law School, to homeowner associations (HOA's), to the League United of Latin American Citizens (LULAC), to labor unions, community organizers and to many Rotary Clubs. But his most memorable experiences have come from teaching Robert's Rules to elementary school children. Born in California to a union organizer father and woman's rights supporter mother, Ted pursued a degree in Journalism at San Jose State during the turbulent 1960's. While his basketball career was short lived, his love for parliamentary procedure was sparked watching Student Government meetings. During this time, he helped start several student and activists groups, but without using Robert's Rules. Difficulties and ultimately the dissolution of these groups taught the author the benefit of using a structured approach to run organizations. The author has taught Robert's Rules of Order as a class for the past 35 years and is a sought-after public speaker on the topic.
