Meetings that Matter
Meetings are a critical part of equal justice advocates' work. Whether we are engaged in large scale social change initiatives or planning the agenda for an upcoming staff or unit meeting, meetings are the forum in which people come together to get things done.
This training reviews the essentials of meeting design, facilitation, collaborative problem-solving and decision-making. Participants will learn how to plan, conduct and follow through on meetings that maximize the time, creativity and expertise of everyone who attends.
