Meetings are a fact of work life. Meetings can advance understanding and informed decisions – or feed frustration and waste time. In “Control Is Not A Dirty Word: Effective Meeting Management,” Upper Hudson Library System presents a workshop in which you will learn how to:

o Determine when to hold a meeting

o Design a meeting to get the outcome you want

o Keep the meeting on track by managing difficult personalities, conflicts, and interruptions

o Positively influence productivity of meetings you are attending but not running

Whether you are a seasoned manager seeking to hone your skills, a rising star taking on more work or volunteer responsibilities that include chairing meetings, or a victim of painful meetings preparing to act, this workshop offers practical help.

Presenter: Mary Fellows, Manager of Youth and Family Services, Upper Hudson Library System

August 20, 9:30-12:00, Upper Hudson Library System
