Improve Your Facilitation Skills While Building Stronger Nonprofit Connections

Register before Thursday to participate

Are you looking to hone your professional facilitation and negotiation skills? Then, OSAP has something great to offer you!

Designed with experienced professionals like you in mind, the Strengthening Your Facilitation Series offers valuable insights into navigating group dynamics, designing effective discussions and managing unforeseen situations.

Through practical assignments and collaborative peer sharing, you will gain opportunities to build your facilitation skills (such as probing, bridging, synthesizing and reflective listening), while gaining confidence in your role and building your professional value to your organization.

You will be matched with a cohort of your association peers from across the U.S. for three highly interactive 90-minute sessions.

Over the course of the three-session series, participants will:

• Gain an understanding of how to map out a facilitation process that helps a group work through common needs, such as brainstorming, problem-solving and consensus-building.
• Create follow-up assignments in between sessions that expose you to opportunities to practice your facilitation skills and techniques in real-life settings.
• Share your experiences with peers to develop a richer learning experience.
