Registration is now open for the
Raise the Room
Spring Leadership Circle.

Are you ready to create participant-centered spaces that enable everyone you work with to deeply learn, share, and succeed?

Join us for a four-part series that looks at improving the way we facilitate our meetings, workshops, classes, and events. Recommended for leaders in school district, non-profit, higher education, and community sectors, or anyone who is interested in increasing engagement, retention, and motivation with an equity lens.
Breakfast will be served, and everyone will receive a copy of “Raise the Room: A Practical Guide to Participant-Centered Facilitation.” Come prepared to talk, listen, and connect with this tight community of peers.

We will meet on Fridays from 9am – 11am at CalSAC (near the Downtown Berkeley BART):
