There are many reasons for running your meeting by Parliamentary Procedure (Robert's Rules is just ONE parliamentary authority).

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
