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
