Mahoning Valley Movement Leader Skill Up: #1 Facilitation and Decision Making

Start: Thursday, February 23, 2023 6:30 PM

End: Thursday, February 23, 2023 8:00 PM

Join us for the first Skill Up session, to learn ways to make group meetings more democratic, more productive, and less full of conflict as we learn meeting facilitation and decision making styles.
We'll go over basics of successful meeting facilitation and types of meetings, and then discuss styles of decision making.

We will discuss and model consensus. Consensus decision-making is a process that builds trust and creates ownership and commitment. An effective consensus process (consensus-building) is inclusive and engages all participants. Consensus decisions can lead to better quality outcomes that empower the group or community to move forward to create their future together.

About this Event

This event is part of a free monthly series of workshops for the Valley community will build a robust skillset of community organizing, social justice action, and community building skills. The goals are for members of the community to share their existing skill sets and augment their skills in a peer-lead workshop environment so that our Valley community has a healthier ecosystem of organizers with strong skill sets and so that our various groups have a common language for coalition and collaboration across campaigns and projects.

Each session offers a tangible real world skill backed up with insights gleaned from progressive philosophy and real world case studies, preferably locally (or from our region). We will model our desires for building community by hosting each meeting as a collaboration between our group(s) and other groups and/or individuals in the Valley.


Ramp from grass to back door is located on the right side of the house, facing the house.
