Meeting Facilitation Services
The Institute for Administrative Justice (IAJ) has professional mediators trained as facilitators who specialize in meeting facilitation. A meeting facilitator can help your organization conduct productive and efficient meetings with multiple participants and/or multiple and complex issues. Our facilitators have a variety of backgrounds that include graduate degrees in law, education, social work and several are attorneys.
Our meeting facilitators can do the following:
-Propose and develop a meeting agenda prior to the meeting after talking with the meeting participants;
-Guide the meeting process so that each participant’s comments and viewpoints are heard and understood by the others;
-Help the meeting participants achieve consensus and closure;
-Assist the participants to develop an action plan to implement after the meeting;
-May use brainstorming and creative problem-solving techniques similar to those a mediator might use to help participants move past disagreement and reach consensus;
A meeting facilitator does not offer content material to the meeting discussion. The facilitator guides the meeting process so that all viewpoints are heard and understood.
Our facilitators are located throughout California and are accustomed to traveling to locations convenient and accessible for the meeting participants.
The cost of an IAJ facilitator will vary depending upon the nature of the meeting, the number of participants and the issues being discussed.
