Due to COVID-19, virtual meetings are an increasing day-to-day reality for organizations of all sizes. The John S. McCain III National Center for Environmental Conflict Resolution (National Center), a program of the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation (Udall Foundation), offered free webinars on April 28, 2020, and May 19, 2020, entitled “How to Facilitate Engaging and Productive Virtual Meetings.” These webinars reviewed best practices and lessons learned for facilitating engaging and productive virtual meetings of small- to medium-sized groups, with a particular focus on collaboration or decision-making when in-person options are not available. National Center staff discussed considerations for virtual meetings and challenges of participant engagement, and shared tips and techniques to facilitate better productivity in virtual settings.
