{news} Modified Consensus Workshop - Qualifications

[Green Party-CT]

Folks,
 
It seems that the "rules'  on who can be trained seem a little arbitray at best. Allan has led two meetings, but can not be "trained"??
 
If we had dozens and dozens wanting to sign up, it might be a problem. But less than 2 dozen seems doable to anyone who had trained people( and i have trained people in programs with that many)
 
Adding one person per chapter seems reasonable at this point, and seems to follow our goals of diversity and rotation. Can someone email the Women's caucus with this?

Concerning the qualifications for "participation" as opposed to "observer status" in the MCP workshop, I think, in retrospect, that it would have been better if the Women's Caucus had allowed an opening for one person from each chapter.

This way every chapter would have had a chance to be involved at the first step, and each chapter would have had a contact person from whom to learn more.

As it is, I am willing to participate as an observer, providing a deffinite effort is made for observers to have at least some hands on role. Nothing can be more deadly than spending 6 or more hours watching others do a workshop.

[apologies for duplicates]

Dear Green Party of CT members,
This is pre-confirmation information regarding a training workshop on
Modified Consensus Process.

The Green Party of Connecticut Women's Caucus is proposing a tentative date
of Sunday November 13, 2005 for the initial workshop to train meeting
facilitators in Modified Consensus Process. Although not confirmed, we
expect a day-long workshop with an ending time to allow for travel home
during daylight (e.g. 10a-4p).

We are pleased to announce that two Green Party members from New York, Lynne
Serpe and Mark Jacobs, have graciously agreed to conduct this training. Both
have extensive experience in MCP and facilitation at the local, state and
national levels.

The venue for this workshop has not yet been selected, although we
anticipate a Litchfield County location to best accommodate our guest
trainers.

This preliminary training is targeting those who have already facilitated at
least two GPC State Central Committee meetings using MCP. If we have missed
anyone, please let us know. The maximum number of registrants is 15, so
please confirm your intention to participate at your earliest convenience to
Judy Herkimer at jherkimer at snet.net.

After this "training of the trainers", the GPC-WC will have 1) created a
resource pool to draw from for meeting facilitators; 2) the ability to
schedule future training workshops for other interested members using GPC
facilitators. The Women's Caucus will eventually submit a proposal to the
SCC that addresses these goals.

Other members are welcome to attend the day's activities as observers and
will be allowed a limited opportunity to comment and ask questions as time
allows.

A continental breakfast and afternoon snacks will be served to all
attendees. Lunch will be provided to registrants at no cost. Lunch is
available to observers for $10 on a pre-payment basis.

The Women's Caucus will be providing transportation, housing, meals and
honoraria for the two facilitators.

Please contact us with any questions. Further information will be
distributed once the date, time and venue are confirmed.

Peace and Power,
The Green Party of CT Women's Caucus
