What are the roles of facilitators
Facilitators serve as neutral agents through a highly structured process in which the facilitators guide the participants through a series of predefined steps to arrive at a result that is created, understood and accepted by all participants (Source: Michael Wilkinson, IAF). For non-profit board meetings, the professional facilitators
  • Plan the facilitated sessions using appropriate methods and processes
  • Maintain an non-judgmental stance by optimising the neutrality throughout the engagement with the board members and NGO members
  • Create a participatory environment for non-profit board and NGO members as well as honour diversity and ensure inclusiveness
  • Deliver the plan effectively to achieve group consensus and meet group desired objectives. *A pre-session scoping meeting is also required. (Source: 2021 IAF Core Competencies)
