Panel Discussion Suggestions

·         Integrate the panel sessions into your agency’s training schedule.  Check online for suggested follow-up questions to stimulate discussion about ways to apply the insights and ideas to people in your organization.  Invite a group to listen to the panel (live or via recording) and then continue with a discussion among your members.

·         You can ask questions of the panelists directly, or email your questions to Don Maruska, telephone panel moderator, before or during the sessions at fccma@donmaruska.com.
