The goal of this two-day workshop is to increase participant’s ability to design, conduct and control meetings in public forums. By the end of the course, participants should be able to:

  • Better understand how to use collaborative processes in resolving coastal and marine-related issues in a public forum.

  • Use meeting management skills, knowledge and competencies to plan for and conduct effective meetings in a public forum.

  • Deal effectively with the media in the public issues management process.

 

There are no prerequisites.
