Dear Richard:
In response to your request, I am pleased to outline a possible scope of services in
connection with a City Council/Manager Team Building Project. As I indicated to you,
I would recommend individual interviews to provide an initial assessment of
issues/concerns. Based upon the outcome of the interviews, I would be prepared to
design a specific program to best address the needs identified.
Normally, a one day program is recommended, although I have offered segmented
sessions on a half day basis. The session could provide an opportunity to clarify mutual
needs and expectations, roles and responsibilities, and to identify protocols or processes
which facilitate public meetings and/or deal with conflict. It may be appropriate to
utilize an interpersonal style assessment instrument to enhance self awareness and
mutual understanding. Some sessions also include a long range planning component.
My professional fees for services include:
Individual Interviews, Session Design,
Assessment Instrument Scoring
$ loo/hour
Facilitation of Workshop
$1200/ day
The total cost estimate for this project would be approximately $2400.
I look forward to the opportunity to discuss this project with you to better determine
how my services may best meet your needs and objectives. If you need additional
information at this time, please contact me.
Sincerely,
(~_.u
Arlene J. Willits
