4 PRE-CONFERENCE 1 Monday, August 4 1:00 4:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required From Start to Finish: Facilitating Groups Presented by: Chris Kniep, Family Living Educator/Department Head - UW Extension Winnebago County Karen Dickrell, Family Living Educator/Department Head - UW Extension Outagamie County This workshop is an interactive session modeling techniques and strategies for facilitating groups. Objectives: By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to: 1. Understand the importance of meeting preparation tasks and activities that lead to an effective experience 2. Use facilitation techniques and strategies in group settings 3. Implement problem solving techniques in dealing with challenges and opportunities while facilitating groups. Description: A skilled facilitator enables a group or organization to work more effectively to collaborate and achieve synergy. Serving as a content neutral party who, by not taking sides or expressing or advocating a point of view during the meeting, can advocate for fair, open and inclusive procedures to accomplish the group s work. A facilitator can also be a learning or dialogue guide to assist a group in thinking deeply about its assumptions, beliefs, and values and about its systemic processes and content. Based on portions of the Training Program for Strategic Planning: Local Government and Community Applications workshop/curriculum, developed for UW-Extension colleagues, this session will highlight methods for groups to generate ideas, organize information and aid decision making. The presentation will highlight best practices in group facilitation and present tools for each of these three mini-processes. Participants will have an opportunity to practice brainstorming methods, affinity diagrams, snow carding and decision matrices. This workshop has been offered to UW-Extension employees for over 15 years and draws from the work of the Humphrey Institute, John Bryson, David Hinds and other experts in the field. As a pre-requisite to strategic planning workshops, the facilitation workshop can lay the ground work for facilitating strategic planning processes. It also provides skills valuable in working with diverse groups of people and supporting a wide variety of community processes. Previous evaluation of this hands on/exploratory training indicates participants increased knowledge, skills and ability to use these facilitation tools with confidence. 4

7 Conference General Sessions AUGUST 5 9:15-10:30 a.m. Community Health and Development: Public Health Version 3.0 (PH 3.0) Susan Swider, PhD, APHN-BC, FAAN Rush University PHNs have a long history of partnering across sectors to improve the health of their communities. Current evidence is finally demonstrating the value of that approach. This presentation will focus on new directions for public health in partnering across sectors and how PHNs can be involved in, and/or lead some of these initiatives to improve health outcomes in their own communities. AUGUST 5 2:30-3:15 p.m. Love in Action A DRAMATIC PRESENTATION FOR NURSES Pippa White They were called Angels of Mercy, but these women were so much more. Yes, they did tend the poor, the sick and the wounded, as they were trained to do. But their accomplishments extend so far beyond this. These nurses were reformers, and their work has had a lasting impact on human health. Florence Nightingale, Lillian Wald, and Margaret Sanger did not just revolutionize nursing, their work revolutionized health care. They took their work beyond its expected boundaries of the doctor s office or hospital, out into the crowded streets of our cities, out into the tenements, out into the battlefield. They realized that health was a public issue, a public need, a public responsibility. Pippa White uses diaries, letters and memoirs of these fascinating people to create a one-woman show that looks at how they were led to their callings, how they dealt with the restrictions they had to endure because they were women, how they accomplished all that they did, and their incredible legacies. The dramatic format allows the audience to experience personal aspects of these women s lives, seldom found in text books. 7
