10. Prepare For Meetings

Before your first meeting, there is a lot to get ready. A checklist can help make sure you don’t forget anything.

One week before the meeting:

The facilitators, group representatives, and volunteers should review the plan for the meeting. Make sure you have all the supplies and resources you need.
Check the member list. Look for anyone who might need extra help or special arrangements. Talk about how to provide this support.
If possible, have a volunteer call group members to remind them about the meeting time, place, and how to get there.
