“David Burnby
was brought in to advise on and facilitate the first Community
Development Worker Network conference. We found his wide ranging
experience invaluable during the planning stages, as he was
able to direct us in a way that made organising the event efficient
and relatively painless. His facilitation was slick and effective,
keeping the conference moving but ensuring delegates were given
plenty of time to air their views.”
Kate Bowers, Chairperson, Community Development Worker Network
Steering Group. |
"David facilitated
2 key conferences for us last Winter and Spring. The conferences
were successful, and this was due to the professional handling
of them on the day by David, and particularly by the thorough
preparation by him beforehand. “
