CAPIO Chirp Episode 19
Preparing for and Facilitating Community Meetings
Holding a meeting is more than logistics, it’s about how you prepare. There is much to consider, whether you are having a town hall to discuss a significant capital project or a planning session with a half-dozen stakeholders.

On this episode of The Chirp, we speak with Davenport Institute Executive Director Maureen Tobin about how to prepare yourself and your team, set clear agendas with defined goals, and encourage participation.
