In addition, we have developed a seminar for members of Federal
Women's Pro;-ram Committees to enhance their-working relation-
ships and the effectiveness of the committee. The group Effect-
iveness Workshop is particularly suited for groups concerned
with facilitating member motivation and involvement. Specifi-
cally, the workshop is designed to achieve the following
objectives:
-to learn who the members of the group are (attitudes
and expectations)
-to learn the characteristics and development process
of groups
-to identify sources of individual and group strengths
-to identify individual and group goals
-to learn problem-solving skills
It has been our experience that through team-building, infor-
mation-sharing, and teaching new skills, options become clear
and goals are defined.
We would like very much to meet with you and/or representatives
of your 17?1P Committee to discuss your specific objectives and
plans for group development and personal skills training. Please
call us to arrange a meeting.
Sincerely yours,
STAT
