What is your new job?
Sr. Training Specialist for Georgia Statewide Afterschool Network.
What do you hope to accomplish in this role?
My main goal is to assist in professionalizing the Youth Development profession in Georgia. Ultimately, I hope to create a system where we can certify professionals in Youth Development to show their competency strengths.
How has HTI influenced your meetings?
When leading a meeting, it’s important to have a second person that knows the agenda and can assist with leading the meeting, especially virtually. I always have a plan for the meeting. I never want to have a meeting that could be an email.
Meeting Planning Tips:
1. Always start with a check-in and community building. Center the people first!
2. Inform attendees of the meeting's purpose and what should the meeting accomplish.
3. End the meeting with the next steps and action items. For example, Patrice will send the meeting notes and follow up with each attendee on their next steps.
Bonus Tips:
Keep progressive meeting notes. If you are using Google Docs or some other shared document, place the meeting dates as running topics. This makes for easy navigation for updates, etc.
