Description:
The Network’s Training Team works as a team to implement an annual schedule of training for human service workers. The Network holds monthly training events, ranging from free lunchtime discussions to full-day conferences.

Each event needs to be coordinated—speaker, location, logistics, marketing, etc.--and that's where you come in!! A group of co-coordinators can share these tasks.
• Determine what specific subject within the topic needs to be addressed—will it meet the needs of attendees, does there need to be a panel in order to address diversity of needs, who are the leaders in the field,
• Select day/time and secure a no-cost location for training (that holds minimum 35 for brown bags, 60+ for training); a list of locations is available from the Network
• Research and contact speakers; as a policy, brown bag speakers are not paid and the Network must approve fees for trainers
• Provide summary to the Network: title, objectives, trainer info, location, date/time
• Assist with announcing the event through listserves, personal contacts, flyers
• Arrange for coffee/snacks, and if for a training event, a catered lunch; confirm costs with the Network, who will arrange for payment
• Confirm with speaker prior to training about registrations, audience needs
• Help with set-up, registration, introductions, food, clean-up the day of the event
