2022-11-16 11:00 - 12:30 (America/New_York) | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87839313928?pwd=[REDACTED]
Topic: Considering volunteer labor and overlapping communities in STEM
As more and more organizations turn to community building as a “fix-all” for a range of projects, volunteers are increasingly pulled in multiple directions as they join overlapping communities. In this call, we’ll consider the existing ecosystem of communities in STEM, whether it’s time to rein in the creation of new communities in favor of partnering with existing ones, and how to work with volunteers to reduce member (and ecosystem-level) burnout.

Scientific Community Engagement Fundamentals Fall 2022 Cohort
Scientific Community Engagement Fundamentals is an eight-week course designed to offer new or existing community managers core frameworks and vocabulary to describe their community’s purpose, refine or create strategic programming to engage community members around their shared goals, and identify ways to lower barriers to member participation. While the content is designed for any level of learner, it should not be thought of as a “beginner” course. Rather, it is intended to create common ground so that scientific community managers can converse across disciplines, more efficiently learn from one another, and build successful engagement strategies that are grounded in theory.
Registration is open for this course: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/scientific-community-engagement-fundamentals-cef22f-tickets-331894002897

CSCCE Webinar ($): Hybrid events: Making hybrid events the best of both worlds
2021-09-14 11:00 - 12:30 (America/New_York)
As we move into the fall, it’s likely that some of us are beginning to consider what hybrid meetings might look like – where some attendees participate in-person from the same location whereas others join remotely. This can be a challenging format to facilitate to ensure that everyone feels included and able to actively participate – and especially that remote attendees don’t feel like an afterthought. In this interactive webinar we’ll equip you with checklists and best practices so that your hybrid meetings are the best of both worlds – virtual and in-person.

CSCCE Webinar ($): Event facilitation: Making decisions during your virtual meetings
2021-08-17 11:00 - 12:30 (America/New_York)
Multiple types of meetings from project coordination to group learning environments can require decision-making with the meeting attendees. There are numerous aspects to consider, including: how to negotiate power dynamics so that everyone feels able to express their opinions, what outcomes you’d like (e.g., shortlisting, one final decision, consensus-building, and crowd-sourcing different perspectives). In this interactive session we’ll walk through decision-making structures, different tools and how to deploy them in a way that enables all attendees to contribute.
