[Hidden-tech] Amherst seeking volunteer facilitators

[A - Z International]

Hi all,

Amherst is going through an intensive, interactive planning process. 
Coordinators are seeking volunteer facilitators to lead sessions with 
towns people. You don't need to be an Amherst resident to do this. I 
would imagine this is a resume-builder. Here's what I got from Alisa 
Brewer of Sustainable Amherst:


>We're seeking people willing to volunteer 2 hours to be trained and 
>2 hours to perform (well, they'd have to come a bit early) some 
>trained facilitation for five upcoming "Planning Amherst Together" 
>Idea Gathering Meetings (each facilitator would only be expected to 
>commit to doing it once).  Since the original training times were on 
>October 3, I knew that was likely to be out of the question.  More 
>recently the (choose one time) trainings were moved to October 4, 
>from 12-2 in the JOnes Library or from 7-9 in the Grace Parish Hall 
>downtown by the Common.
>
>For you to be willing to mention this to your group, especially 
>during the last minute preparation for your big October 3 showcase, 
>what would you need to know?  Here is the flyer on the Town website:
