CONDUCTING COMPLEX MEETINGS COURSE OFFERED
BY COMMON GROUND: CENTER FOR COOPERATIVE SOLUTIONS
As part of University
of California, Davis Extension, Common Ground helps government
entities, agencies and private- and public-sector organizations
come together to find unique solutions to challenging and
complex issues.
This winter Common Ground
will be offering two, one-day courses in Managing Complex
Meetings for public- and private-sector professionals who
wish to build their capacity for collaboration and conflict
resolution. Controversial issues, public settings and large
groups of people can quickly turn a simple meeting into a
complex and challenging situation.
These courses will provide
a broad repertoire of tools for organizing and running potentially-troublesome
meetings. In the first session, participants will gain the
skills to engage stakeholders in the design of meeting agendas
and to match the format of meetings to its goals.
The second session will
look at productive intervention and how to productively engage
diverse and sometimes difficult stakeholders. Mediator Susan
Carpenter will be conducting both sessions. Carpenter has
spent the past 25 years developing and managing programs to
reach consensus on public issues, resolve public controversies
and develop common goals and visions. For the convenience
of program participants, these courses are offered at the
Sutter Square Galleria, 2901 K St., midtown Sacramento.
Managing Complex Meetings:
The Fundamentals, Tuesday, Feb. 28, 9 am - 4pm.
Managing Complex Meetings: Taking on the Challenges, Wednesday,
