Are you interested in acquiring knowledge and skills that will make you an asset to your diverse community and workplace?  Are you interested in taking the tried and true Sustained Dialogue®  approach to new contexts? Do you want to become part of a cadre of alumni continuing the mission of Sustained Dialogue? If so, attend our 2011 Facilitator Training Weekend in Washington, DC this June!   

Throughout the event, Sustained Dialogue® leaders will share their talents, techniques, and real-life examples of how the SD approach has enabled them to teach their colleagues and peers to embrace differences as strengths and create inclusive and responsible environments in their workplaces and communities. 

Participants who attend will receive a Certificate in Facilitating Inclusive Leadership Workshops. This will be part of the comprehensive Certificate in Sustained Dialogue® that we are developing in the coming years. The 2 day workshop is a professional development opportunity valued at $585. In this pilot year, you have the opportunity to attend at a greatly reduced cost. Register by May 25 to save even more.

Some attendees of the June workshop will be compensated to help SDCN facilitate workshops on campuses throughout the year, especially during our busy fall Moderator Workshop season. Please indicate on your registration if you are interested and available a few weekends this fall!

What to expect: You can expect a rich learning environment of interactive and experiential learning sessions, guest speakers, learning from and with the SD network of alumni, and skills you can bring back to your workplace and community. We will be sending an agenda to attendees as the time gets closer.

Friday, June 24: 2 pm - 6 pm

Saturday, June 25: 9 am - 6 pm (likely special dinner after)

Sunday, June 26: 9 am - 3 pm

Ticket costs cover registration fees, materials, and breakfast and lunch for each day.  We encourage interested individuals to seek out professional development funds from employers.
