Learn some of the skills needed to run, or participate in, effective meetings.

Productive meetings are essential to effectively plan for and manage the diverse interests and needs in our coastal communities.

In this course, participants will learn basic facilitation skills, tools to engage participants, and techniques for dealing with disruptive behaviors. Class time is provided to practice using tools and skills to plan and facilitate meetings that accomplish objectives while minimizing conflict.

Participants at every level are welcome, since these skills are useful even when attending, but not running, a meeting. The course runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Pre-registration is required by May 1.

This training is provided through the NOAA Office for Coastal Management. For more information, please contact Lynne Pusey at lynne.pusey@delaware.gov or 302-735-3417.
