Dee Kelsey and Pam Plumb began their collaboration when they created the Certificate Program in Facilitation for the Center for Continuing Education at the University of Southern Maine in 1993. Since that time, they have designed and delivered customized facilitation and meeting management training programs for clients as varied as L.L. Bean, The National League of Cities, Bates College, Eastern Kentucky University, and The Nature Conservancy. They value their collegial relationship and the success they have brought to hundreds of individuals and organizations as varied as large corporations, small businesses, nonprofits of all kinds and sizes, schools, hospitals, medical groups, and local and state governments. They even practice what they preach: just ask their staff! Together they have written two books, Great Meetings: How to Facilitate like a Pro and the revised and expanded Great Meetings! Great Results. Dee and Pam are currently putting the final touches on Great Meetings! The Training Video and Great Meetings! The CD Rom.
