PARTNERING FACILITATION is a process designed to guide the work that people and organizations do. The result is stronger relationships with people and organizations within and outside of their immediate group. Effective partnering facilitation enhances long-term relationships among participants, improves the quality of products and services, and assists in meeting cost objectives. Actions performed by SMITH/Associates: lead meetings, build teams, moderate discussions, manage conflict, raise issues, evaluate meeting success, draft agendas, record action items, identify lessons learned, and assign due dates and responsible parties.
PUBLIC OUTREACH requires a complex understanding of relationships and communication processes. We recognize risk communication involves both technical and perceptual issues. Our approach is based upon an uncommon mix of technical competence and empathic communication abilities. SMITH/Associates will develop community relations plans, design communication plans, produce fact sheets, prepare newsletters, issue public service announcements, organize public meetings, record meeting minutes, solicit and analyze public comments, host bilingual public information hotline, develop signs, and provide training.
EVENT MANAGEMENT entails making high-profile events run seamlessly. Our seasoned event managers guarantee that every aspect of an event is meticulously managed from identifying the target audience, developing the event concept, and planning the logistics to coordinating the technical aspects before actually executing the event. Actions: develop theme, identify and analyze audience, negotiate venue and vendor contracts, design marketing campaign, produce outreach materials, propose agenda, prepare briefing, determine timeline, manage budget, on-site support, design participant evaluation, distribute and analyze evaluation results, summarize action items, and provide recommendations for future events.
