		The DECwomen Project - Facilitator Training

	The DECwomen Project, supported by Donna Taylor, MEM Valuing
	Differences Manager, is announcing a pilot program to train
	women as facilitators for women's discussion groups.   Once 
	the training is complete, participants will be expected to 
	co-facilitate women's discussion groups at their sites and 
	maintain contact with the DECwomen Project leaders and other 
	co-facilitators for on-going support and supervision. 
	
	At this point, the first groups will be geographically limited 
	to the Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire area.
	Expansion of the program will be considered in the future. 
	
	The program is a selective one.  If you are interested, respond 
	to Bobbi Fox at CADSE::FOX before October 10th. This is a HARD 
	deadline. In your response, please include some information 
	about who you are, your location, a little about yourself, and 
	why you would like to become a facilitator.  Don't worry if 
	you don't have prior experience in facilitating meetings - 
	that's what the training will be for. 

	There will be a pre-training session on Wednesday afternoon, 
	October 18.  If you are interested in being part of the pilot 
	program, you *are expected* to attend the pre-training session.  
	However, if you contact Bobbi Fox by October 10th but cannot 
	attend, you will not be disqualified from participation. 

	In addition, research is being done in the area of men's discussion
	groups at Digital.  If you are interested in more information 
	on men's discussion groups, please contact DELNI::P_LEEDBERG 
	and your request will be forwarded to the appropriate group. 

	Thanks,

	DECwomen Project
