Meeting Facilitation

Is your meeting important enough to engage your members, volunteer leaders and/or staff? If you have a meeting coming up, contact us to learn more about how you can get the most out of the time, energy and resources dedicated to the effort by your staff and volunteers.

It’s important to have a neutral facilitator who can help meeting participants fully engage and tackle, where it’s appropriate, tough issues. A good meeting facilitator assures the meeting flows, all are engaged, and the outcome is achieved.
