Planning a Fruitful Meeting:

As a group member, I ask you to:

come to our meetings on time, prepared and ready to work together. Be direct but civil.

help me perform my functions as facilitator. I am human and occasionally miss a tangent or a non-verbal signal. I welcome your assistance.
treat each other with respect. We are all here for the same reason and owe each other a careful hearing and thoughtful questions.
be open and flexible in approaching our mutual tasks. Try out different ideas. We’re here to be creative, not take rigid positions and hold to them.
stay on task and on point as much as possible. Avoid dominating the discussion. If you have spoken and others haven’t, encourage them to speak up.
help set groundrules that matter to you.
