Institute for Local Government

Crystal Harding is the board chair of for the NORTH HIGHLANDS RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT, and a Meeting Mastery graduate! Crystal sat down with us to tell us about how this meeting facilitation and design training make a daily impact on her work as a public leader, and has given her tools to pass along to her colleagues as well. Leaders all over California have taken Meeting Mastery, and are putting their new skills to use every day in public spaces. They're able to design meetings that are engaging and effective, and produce equitable results that were often difficult to reach before. Positive community-building activities are critical for constructive dialogue and building trust. With our training, you’ll be empowered to facilitate successful meetings that promote inclusive and constructive conversations that help foster a more connected and engaged community.
