John Scarrott
Creating successful events and productive committees relies on the skills of your contributors and attracting those from all parts of your community to get involved.
There are three training opportunities for you to offer to your contributors, to enhance the qaulity of your conferences and events, and the effeciveness of your commitees:
- Conference Speakers [I think, these need expanding into course titles and perhaps with images, and then these link off to separate pages]
- Conference Chairs and Facilitators
- Committee Chairs
High value for in-house training
- Relevant and specific to associations: with the trainers' deep knowledge of associations and experience in training association executives
- Flexible: delivered onsite or remotely via video platform, timed and tailored to fit your schedule
- Tailored content: the tutor will shape the session to your requirements
- Practical and interactive: with practical and actionable advice, space for sharing, discussion and questions, plus time to create an action plan to make the most of the takeaways
- Supported: all participants receive a welcome pack with the agenda, a biography of the trainer and suggested preparation and post-training reading and resources

Following your training session on conference speaking and chairing, our Forum went very well. We noticed that all the speakers, many of whom were first times, and moderators have done truly well and with increased confidence this time around.
