Capacity Board and Trainer Development
Build confidence! Develop training skills! Be an effective director, manager, or Administrator!
Workshop Length: 12 Hours
Description
The Capacity Board and Trainer Development workshop is a hands-on, fun-filled adventure in learning. Men and women come with their personal experience and during the 2-day session, they build their confidence and develop their unique strengths to serve as effective Board members, deliver enjoyable presentations, conduct meetings, and manage Board operations. By respecting and integrating adult learning principles, participants develop the skills and knowledge to construct agendas and lesson plans that translate into rich learning environments.
In the context of establishing effective meeting and learning environments, participants will create and facilitate sessions on topics related to serving as part of a non-profit society team. In a safe, supportive learning environment, each participant will create and test presentations and activities on topics such as effective communication, roles and responsibilities, agenda and meeting management, and code of conduct. Learners will be encouraged to develop sessions and materials that can be delivered again and again to build capacity on the boards and in the communities they serve.
Graduates from this training re-enter their workplace, career, and community and serve on boards with passion, vigor and vision. Each person takes away an armload of professionally designed resources and a certificate to proudly display among their achievements and successes.
