SUMMARY:Designing for effective decision-making during virtual meetings (Decisions26)
DESCRIPTION:Meetings and virtual events often involve asking attendees to make decisions. Decision-making invokes numerous considerations\, including how to negotiate power dynamics\, empower everyone to express their opinions\, and actually reach the outcome(s) you desire. In this Mini-workshop\, you will explore four broad decision-making modes (authority rule\, consultation\, voting\, and consensus) and then use the PACT framework to plan a decision-making process. You will leave prepared to deploy decision-making processes in a way that invites all attendees at your meetings and events to contribute. \nRegister for this Mini-workshop (deadline: Tuesday\, 28 July 2026) \nAbout CSCCE Mini-workshops \nCSCCE Mini-workshops are 90- to 120-minute sessions that introduce discrete ideas in community management or go deeper on a core framework. \nMini-workshop descriptions

SUMMARY:Making a PACT for more engaging virtual meetings and events (PACT26)
DESCRIPTION:With virtual work increasingly the norm\, community managers are often tasked with convening and facilitating virtual meetings. In this mini-workshop\, participants will discuss the opportunities and challenges of virtual meetings and explore the “Making a PACT” framework (Purpose\, Attendees\, Community management\, Tech tools) for effective meeting design. Community managers will apply the framework directly to example scenarios so that they leave feeling empowered to use the framework in their own community management.  \nRelated resource: Center for Scientific Collaboration and Community Engagement.

SUMMARY:Preparing and Designing for large-scale collaborations (CollaborationsA/B26)
DESCRIPTION:Preparing for large-scale collaborations (Collaborations A) \nIn this first of a two part series of two-hour workshops\, you will explore dimensions of team readiness for large\, multi-stakeholder collaborative initiatives and how a team readiness assessment can be used to identify which areas you need to address as a priority.  By the end of this workshop\, you will have drafted a survey for your project\, ready to determine how to translate the survey responses into practical next steps in the second workshop. \nDesigning for large-scale collaborations (Collaborations B) \nIn this second workshop of a two part series\, you will debrief the team readiness surveys that you drafted in workshop one and completed for homework. You will explore how to report the results back to the team and determine next steps to take. Then\, using a framework describing collaborative approaches\, you will identify which combination of approaches or activities will be helpful for the next stage of your collaboration. \nPart A | Wednesday\, 19 August 2026 10am – 12pm EDT / 2pm – 4pm UTC  \nPart B | Thursday\, 20 August 2026 10am – 12pm EDT / 2pm – 4pm UTC  \nRegister for this 2-part Mini-workshop series (deadline: Wednesday\, 12 August 2026) \nAbout CSCCE Mini-workshops \nCSCCE Mini-workshops are 90- to 120-minute sessions that introduce discrete ideas in community management or go deeper on a core framework. \nMini-workshop descriptions

SUMMARY:Working with volunteers (Volunteers26)
DESCRIPTION:Community managers are often trying to create spaces that support group learning and self-expression to build something members of the community couldn’t create alone – and this almost always includes incorporating volunteer contributions. In this Mini-workshop\, we’ll explore common community manager concerns related to working with volunteers. We’ll discuss how to flip the narrative from self-doubt and scarcity to center volunteers in a way that empowers and supports them in working together and builds your confidence as a community organizer. We will discuss making contributor pathways visible so that work gets done\, while being respectful of members’ different contexts. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking things such as “I feel really self-conscious about asking for contributions from our volunteers – are we being too demanding?” and “I know that different members in our community need different things\, but I don’t know where to start.” then this discussion-based workshop is for you. \nRegister for this Mini-workshop (deadline: Tuesday\, 18 August 2026) \nAbout CSCCE Mini-workshops \nCSCCE Mini-workshops are 90- to 120-minute sessions that introduce discrete ideas in community management or go deeper on a core framework. \nMini-workshop descriptions
