Group Process Skills for Committees

Half Day Workshop: Thurs 8:30 – 12:00

Price: $60

In this experiential session, we’ll explore the formal and informal roles that people play in committees, and the way that these impact the power dynamics in the group. We’ll contrast when these roles are fulfilled competently, with when they aren’t, and generate ideas for what you can do about that before, during, and after the meeting. You will leave with a deeper understanding of this simple yet significant foundation of committee work, handouts with tips for success, and an exercise that you can share with the folks at home to increase the capacity in your community.
