The subject of the February meeting of the Silicon Valley chapter is:

Topic:          "Facilitation Skills for Effective Meetings"

                Have you ever attended a meeting that just did not go
                well?  Or a meeting which got out of control?  Do you
                have to conduct an IPR (in process review) and don't
                know where to begin?  Come to our February meeting and
                find out about some skills that can make the most of
                a meeting.  This presentation will cover how to get
                task achievement, handle intra-group conflict, and
                take control of your meetings.

Speaker:        Tara Martin-Milius, dynamic speaker, trainer, and
                consultant.  She has an extensive background in
