First off, you need to learn what parliamentary procedure is yourself. I think there have been several resources cited in this thread. Then get your fellow members to understand it as well, then as a group take this matter to your president explaining how she needs to follow it as well to be an effective president.

Hope this helps
Here are some more resources:

Parliamentary organizations (may have local groups near you)-

National Association of Parliamentarians http://www.parliamentarians.org

American Institute of Parliamentarians
http://www.parliamentaryprocedure.org/

Other sites-
Official Robert's Rules site
http://www.robertsrules.com/

Parliamentarian sites
http://www.jimslaughter.com/
http://www.parli.com/
http://www.rulesonline.com/
http://www.nancysylvester.com/
http://www.csufresno.edu/comm/cagle-p3.htm

Get a copy of Robert's Rules in Bried, as well as the current edition of Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised (RONR).

Hope this helps.
