The Effective Meeting Facilitator: Maximizing Engagement and Results

This workshop is co-sponsored by the West Virginia Nonprofit Association and the Office of Professional & Community Education at the WVU School of Social Work. WVNPA Members can attend the workshop at a 50% discount ($12.50).

Like a coach, a meeting facilitator must bring out the best in individual players and like a conductor, orchestrate successful group efforts. Mastering the techniques of meeting facilitation leads to efficiency and results. This facilitation training workshop delivers tools and techniques that you can use immediately. You will learn the stages of group development, planning techniques and how to build consensus, manage dysfunction and motivate to action.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to list and understand the stages of Group Development; have an understanding of different types of meetings; and understand the components that make up the 10 principles to facilitating effective meetings.
