Following the successful single day facilitation training this past spring, UVM Extension and Lake Champlain Sea Grant are teaming up with the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation to host Ann Weaver from NOAA’s Office of Coastal Management to provide Planning and Facilitating Collaborative Meetings, a 2-day course for watershed professionals, planners, and local decision makers. FREE. A minimum of 25 participants is required for the course to be held. Registration will be capped at 35 participants. It will be held at 11 West Street in Essex Junction. Learn to design meetings that enhance problem solving and minimize conflict. Collaboration can be complicated, requiring  a systematic approach. This course provides the skills and tools to design and implement collaborative approaches. The skills will be useful even when attending, but not running, meetings. Learn more here. Registration is open!
