Summary
Chairing is a special skill that involves more than following rules of order. It requires training and practice in building consensus, ensuring that all the opinions get heard, knowing when and how to push for a decision and when to seek more information. The chair also needs members to do their part by staying on topic, listening carefully and treating others with respect. This workshop will review:
- the role of the chair,
- some chairing techniques, and
- simplified rules of order.
No scents is good sense! CHFT has a no scents policy. Due to allergies, asthma and chemical sensitivities, we ask that no perfume, cologne, or scented products be worn to in-person events.
