J <br /> 3 <br /> If the Board wishes to pursue discussion of these structural <br /> aspects of the communication process, there are several <br /> possible formats to do so. <br /> • Kurt Jenne at the Institute of Government advises the <br /> Institute has three faculty (Kurt Jenne, Peg Carlson and Ann <br /> Davidson) who work with Boards to facilitate discussion <br /> about processes and how to tailor these to accomplish the <br /> goals of the specific Board. Ms. Carlson advises that IOG <br /> staff have provided training and facilitation to at least 50-75 <br /> elected governing boards, including groundrules for effective <br /> group work. <br /> • Dr. Smith also has offered to contract for training or <br /> consultation for the Board as the Board may desire. <br /> • The Board itself, without a facilitator, may wish to incorporate <br /> this discussion into a retreat or work session <br /> • For specific items such as the agenda abstract or others, <br /> request staff to bring proposals to the Board for its <br /> consideration. <br /> Recommendation: As the Board decides. <br /> f:\eta bswrit.doc <br /> September 5, 1997 <br />
