In this presentation participants discovered the qualities of effective teams and how to build a team.

The ability to understand and apply
parliamentary skills is a much sought-after quality among managers and
leaders. This presentation covered how to effectively lead and
participate in parliamentary-style discussions. The coordinators were Janet Nash, Steven Martindale, and Dave Endres.
