25. Set Regular Meetings Set dates at the beginning of the year
Second Tuesday at noon and everyone bring a lunch
Meet virtually, if helpful
DO NOT cancel
Canceling or rescheduling sends the message that these meetings are negotiable
Everyone should give a report

26. Facilitation Best Practices
Start on time
End on time
If you want people to come back
People need to know how much time to schedule
Do not come late or leave early, just to report
Report time is different than discussion time
Hold the entire team to this

27. Facilitation Best Practices
Manageable size
Use subcommittees
Table name tents for speaking
Stick to an agenda
Don’t monopolize the conversation
Talk your share and remember some folks don’t feel comfortable fighting for air time
