Liberating Structures for Board & Staff Meetings

Description How engaging are your board and staff meetings? Are the discussions generative and stimulating? Does everyone participate fully, and equally? Or is it the same old boring meeting, month after month, with only a few voices speaking up? Too often when working in groups and committees we default to old and tired methods of discussion that stifle people's inclusion and engagement.

Enter Liberating Structures, a suite of very simple but powerful discussion techniques that ensure the authentic voice of every board and staff member is heard. See how the addition of even one Liberating Structure can make your board or staff work together more equitably and effectively. In this interactive webinar, you'll get hands-on practice with a selection of Liberating Structures as you apply them to real-life board and nonprofit scenarios.

Date: April 28, 2022 Time: 9:30 am - 12:00 am PT Cost: $99 USD
