Agency
Forums Checklist
Planning
Required
Following is a brief checklist to assist in planning a forum.
1.
Designate a Coordinator:
If the meeting will bring together staff from across the country, designating
a contact at the headquarters level works well.
2.
Select Timeframe:
Is a half-day meeting sufficient? Would the agency benefit from an extended
program?
3.
Determine Focus:
Training, updates on agency procedures, special staff conferences, and
formulating new directions are all valuable.
4.
Explore Training Resources:
Contract with private consultants or trainers as needed.
5.
Coordinate with Other Agencies:
Agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), National
Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), or
Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) may provide important resource information.
6.
Reserve Meeting Space:
Contact the NTP Agency Forum Coordinator listed below to reserve meeting
space and arrange for other meeting needs.
7.
Advertise:
Provide information to headquarters and field personnel about meeting
logistics, dates, times, hotel information, what kind of pre-meeting preparation
is required, and any background materials that will be needed for use
during the meeting.
