Info

Finding a Good Facilitator Facilitators can be identified from many sectors within or outside of the community. The facilitator may or may not be involved in the MAPP process. In some communities, it may make sense to use the chair of the MAPP committee or another MAPP committee member as the facilitator. An external facilitator may also be considered. An external facilitator may be a consultant or a volunteer from a neutral organization either within the community or from the outside. United Way chapters may be useful in identifying a facilitator; some chapters even conduct facilitator training. Community colleges and universities are yet another good resource for facilitators. External facilitation can help to minimize internal politics, turf issues, distrust between organizations, and other issues. Types of Facilitators Advantages Disadvantages Individual involved in the MAPP process, such as the committee chair, health official, or another member of the MAPP committee External facilitator Individual not directly involved in the MAPP process, from within the community • Familiarity with the process and the various individuals involved. • Familiarity with unique dynamics within the community. • Knowledge of the kinds of outcomes needed. • Seen as being neutral – minimizes internal politics, turf issues, distrust between organizations. • Familiarity with unique dynamics within the community. • An individual not associated with the MAPP Committee will be seen as being more neutral. • May have preconceived notions that affect facilitation. • May not be seen as being neutral or fair. • May require financial resources, depending on the type of external facilitator. • May not have necessary knowledge of the community • May have preconceived notions about the community and public health issues that affect facilitation. • May not be seen as being neutral or fair, given that they have ties to the community. Outside consultant Individual not involved in MAPP, from outside the community/non-consultant (e.g., state health department employee, individual from a neighboring community) • Will likely bring appropriate skills to the process. • Can be dismissed if skills do not meet requirements. • Likely, will not require financial resources. • Is knowledgeable about the region, but also not so connected as to seem biased. • Requires financial resources, which communities may not have. • State-level person may bring a sense of state-local hierarchy to the process. 112
Tip Sheet 5: FACILITATION WITHIN THE MAPP PROCESS Working with the Facilitator Once a facilitator has been selected, the core support group and MAPP committee should work closely with the facilitator. Coordination with the facilitator may include the following: • Ensure he/she understands the goals and objectives of each session or discussion and the results that need to come out of the sessions. • Agree on what the facilitator will do versus what support staff will do. This is especially important for consultants who serve as facilitators; specifics should be included in a written contract. • Evaluate how sessions are run to ensure that the facilitator is effective. If issues arise, work them out immediately so that the process is not negatively affected. • Discuss with the facilitator how participants should be engaged before, during, and after the process. The facilitator should be aware of all aspects of the MAPP process, so that he/she can share important information as it arises during session discussions. • Work with the facilitator in analyzing and compiling the results of each discussion. The facilitator should play an important role in preparation and follow-up. TIP SHEET 5 113
