3 <br />Excellent group interaction. <br />-- Good speeches, good facilitator, good brainstorming. <br />Ned Brooks, format. <br />The idea of a Human Services Advisory Forum, networking, <br />information, Albert Kittrell. <br />Participation encouraged from all, with group interaction. <br />-- Large group opportunity for interchange. <br />Good planning to get input from the groups. <br />Small discussion groups. <br />Moderator. <br />Senator Lee's speech, I heard mostly positive comments from <br />many bright and caring people. <br />Opportunity to visit with such a variety of people; providers, <br />fundees, volunteers, etc. <br />Networking. <br />Inspired by Howard Lee's talk, group discussion. <br />Meeting people. <br />Small group discussions. <br />-- The whole forum was well - thought out and planned. <br />b. Please indicate what you liked least. <br />The lack of a planned lunch for all. <br />The priority voting and dots. <br />The length of the final wrap -up group session (too long). <br />- Lack of sufficient time in afternoon sessions to develop a <br />list of strategies. <br />A forum of this sort should allow comments /views from some <br />users of these services, not just providers. <br />I would not change anything. <br />The structure did not permit the will to follow -up. What will <br />happen to our good ideas? <br />The coffee disappeared very quickly at the beginning of the <br />day. <br />As always, limited time during wrap -up to discuss. <br />a The lack of "front line" professionals represented. <br />Ran out of time to discuss important issues. Forums needed <br />more often on more specific topics. <br />Three kick -off talks in a row. Only Senator Lee was really <br />appropriate to the setting. <br />I have no dislikes just concerns about how this process will <br />facilitate a PRODUCT. <br />Difficult to generalize about the needs when they are so <br />varied. <br />Found nothing to dislike. <br />Focus Group Questions were not very clear as to outcome. <br />�- The arrangement of the room: perhaps reconstructing the <br />arrangement so that everyone can see each other more <br />successfully (i.e. groups in circles). <br />hsacdisk:forum091.593 <br />
